Escapee Carrot Men

Post by pauly » Thu Jun 26, 2025 3:09 pm

Every year I get a few carrot men trying to escape the harvest.
Caught this one trying to act casual and blend in on Kildale platform.

The seated carrot image is wonderful... wait long enough and there might be a competition category suitable for it to be entered?
The best things in life are free.... so why am I doing this?
