Scarecrows and Ghosties

  These scarecrows seemed to be everywhere we went on a recent walk through one of the state parks.  It was all decked out for the October holiday beloved by children of all ages.  I wish I had had my scary little 'monster' with me!

witches and scarecrows
roam village and countryside
scaring up a treat

I think I'll get this outfit to wear when I work in the garden!

Looks just like my 'gardener'
Where is the bike lane?

These two are up to no good!

What tree roots do when no one is looking

This is my favorite scarecrow

    Myślę, że wróble nie wystraszą się strachów na nie. Będą je podziwiać, bo są świetne. Pozdrawiam.
    I think that sparrows do not scare the ghosts to them. They admire them because they are great. Yours.

    Those are great! I love the tree roots! Our kids & cub scout group made a boy scout scarecrow for the town's competition this year and won the "biggest scarecrow" award. We still need to dismantle it. It's in the garage and is a bit creepy.

    I don't know if this is fun, or a little creepy! Love the tree roots, though.

    Awesome. I love the tree roots. I always knew they were up to some capers. A photograph of their activities is very rare!

    Wow, they are all so creative! We saw one in a yard last week that was "mooning" passing cars - a scarecrow facing away from the road with its pants slightly down and double pumpkins sticking out! lol
