Straw for brains -- for real.
Louise and I found this fellow taking his ease on the grounds of Radium Springs park at Albany, Georgia. Don't look for his head, because it's only a sheaf of pinestraw.
I don't know why he was there. He couldn't speak for himself, and there was non one around to ask. However, it was the middle of October, so he might have been part of preparations for a Hollowe'en celebration at the park.
Radium Springs, Georgia's largest natural spring, is about four miles south of Albany's riverfront area via Radium Springs Road. With a flow of 70,000 gallons of fresh, clear water per minute, Radium Springs is considered one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Georgia. Traces of radium in the water give it its name. The spring is surrounded by a 95-acre botanical park that includes the ruins of an early 20th-century casino and resort.
If you find yourself anywhere near Albany, be sure to visit the spring and also the many other interesting things along the Flint riverfront, including the Riverquarium.

used a Fuji X-H1 camera and a Fujicron XC
