Haslingfield Scarecrow Festival (2)

Inspired by The Olympics and our summer of sport... 


















Nothing to do with sport but I can't resist putting this one in too..
...just to remind you to...

Take care!

  2. Two great posts John!

    There are some clever people around! I love the one of 'Her Majesty', good to see HRH and plenty of folk have a good sense of humour!

    Thanks for sharing!

  3. Very creative. And I love the bit of cheek with the Queen's parachute stuck in a tree.

  4. What fun! I enjoyed both parts. Scarecrow festivals seem to be becoming very popular, I saw an Olympic themed one on another blog recently, they are so creative.

  14. I enjoyed this scarecrow series including the previous post. How imaginative and creative! They are more like life-size dolls than scarecrows. Some of them can’t scare crows, and I myself will be scared by some of them when I see them in the dim light.

    Scarecrows in the rice paddies is one of typical autumn scenes of Japan and Scarecrow festivals/contest are held in some places, too.
