Costumed Characters Within The Park

While I was passing through the busy park, a trio of costumed people were attracting the attention of kids. They had the general look of porcupines- albeit with walking sticks or pouches. It was fun to watch them, and a bit of a challenge to photograph them.

  10. Oh I thought they looked a little fearsome, but the children don't seem to be bothered :) So much going on here William, still getting a fair bit of snow there I see.

  14. @Ciel: you're welcome!

    @Cloudia: I try to avoid taking pics of kids, but in this case it couldn't be helped. The expressions of the children in the last shot makes it my favourite of these.

    @VP: and the real porcupines are fun to watch, but scary if you get too close!

    @Whisk: thanks!

    @Bill: the whole park is a lot of fun for children.

    @Nancy: some kids can be wary of costumed mascots, I've found, as well as the stilt walkers I've shown previously.

    @Grace: this morning we've had more snow as well.

    @Tamago: I expect they are warm!

    @Sharon: they did, yes!

    @Pat: good way to describe them!

  18. @Marleen: indeed!

    @RedPat: it was different.

    @Geoff: why not!

    @Country Gal: you're welcome.

    @Revrunner: yes.

    @Mari: lots of kids find that fascinating.

  19. I can understand the kids were excited :)
    Spring is not round the corner in Ottawa - still a lot of snow.

  20. It looks like they have very interesting faces. (Your mention of "pouches" made me wonder if they are marsupials. They aren't.)

  21. @Lois: definitely.

    @Birgitta: winter lasts here.

    @Kay: apparently not!
