Scarecrows

23 comments


I visited yet another garden show this bank holiday weekend. In a small part of the show I found this competition exhibited by local schoolchildren. We were invited to vote for our favourites. I thought you might enjoy seeing them. Not all are conventional, some are quite amusing.
A couple of photos are a bit blurry for which I apologise, hope it doesnt spoil your enjoyment. Have a look:


I really liked the big crow (last picture) I wonder which one is your favourite?
Lastly, my transport home? lol.

I like number 9 in your second photo ... though the more I look at it the more I realise it looks a bit like me, especially sat down enjoying that cup of tea!!!

Lol Geranium. Lil there were a few patriotic ones, Im watching the river pageant on TV now. Her maj is just setting off down the river. Sticki - Rio or 'the crow' was my favourite. Alot of work must have gone into making him and the workmanship looked terrific. He was alot taller than me (Im about 5ft 7)

I like the crow and mr fox but they are all good and I hope they all got an award for effort..
I`ve set up skyplus for all the pomp and pageantry and will thoroughly enjoy watching when I`m on my own, I love anything like that...

Thanks everyone, it was just a bit of fun really. Glad you enjoyed it. I dont know if I will find out who the winner is. It wont be judged until the close of the show on Tuesday. Ill have to keep a look out for it in the local paper......

I agree with Sheila, I couldnt possibly choose. We had a scarecrow competition in our village this weekend as well.

My favourite is the second one as well. But I also like #7 with the Olympic torch

Couldn't pick a favourite either. Well done to all the boys and girls who took part :))

They are all brilliant, hard to pick a favourite but I think mine is either number 9 or number 11. Number 11 really made me chuckle - think its the high heels lol.

Thanks everyone, they were good werent they? Ive just seen Cinderellas blog on Scarecrows in her village theyre brilliant too so if you havent already had a look ...

they're all so imaginative; I especially like pic 4, the paralympic scarecrow! but they're all prize-worthy.

lol it's more than we get round here - when kids to "penny for the guy" it's usually a teddy bear in a jumper!
