I need you all to see these magpies
A photograph of two magpies, one in the foreground on a sidewalk, and one in the background in a parking lot. The parking lot magpie has the standard magpie colouration of black head and wings and white belly with iridescent blue-green tailfeathers. The sidewalk magpie is primarily grey and white, with the head being grey and most of its body being white. This is an uncommon mutation known as a "ghost magpie", the result of imperfect albinism.

So guess where I went today
An illuminated sign consisting of the word "Zellers" mounted above a store of the same name. You can see some of the inside of the store, including mannequins, balloons, and "Grand Opening" signage. Much of the decor is red and white, befitting Zellers' colour scheme.

Went to The Bay today and...
A department store section, but instead of clothes or other goods there is an array of mannequins on display with a variety of body types and colours. The mannequins also have price tags. A department store display with dozens of mannequins available for purchase. Several of them are only torsos, while some are only legs. A sales rack with two signs on top reading "Women's Fashion 60% off" and "All sales are final". The rack is holding two white shirts with thin dull orange stripes. The rack itself bears a price sticker reading "$75.00".

Spotted this at my local Safeway
A sign on a grocery shelf that reads "Most needed food bank item" at the top and "Purchase today and donate" at the bottom. Between the bottom and top texts is an artistic render of boxed and canned groceries.

Third cotton group and the second Original Stitch group. The Feraligatr one at the end is probably the most expensive shirt because it's got custom buttons and an Unown C embroidery. There's some closeups of the Giratina and Feraligatr shirts so you can see for yourself.
