Traditional Scarecrow

Posted by Laurie (New Jersey, United States) on 26 September 2007 in Art & Design and Portfolio.

Every September there is a scarecrow festival and competition in Peddler's Village in Lahaska PA. There are all sorts of creative contributions to the festival from traditional to wacky. This is a traditional scarecrow from the festival.

Please visit my other photoblog Capturethisphotography.com

This photo of the Bucknell Quad is a 2 page feature photo in the Summer 2008 issue of Bucknell Magazine.

He looks like me when I don't get enough sleep (except that he's smiling)!

@Russ: Thanks. I get that same look and the smile is because I'm slap happy.

MaryB from Staffordshire, United Kingdom

Ooo! this is brilliant Laurie, I haven't seen a scarecrow in years!
I was hoping to go to a local Autumn show where they have a best dressed scarecrow competion, unfortunatly I'm going somewhere in the evening so can't make it. Hope you post more of these :)

I'm so glad Fall is coming. I'm a sweater person, so the weather is just right. Not to mention the colors are perfect for photography. I'll have to get back to Peddler's Village and New Hope. I haven't been there for years.

@Angry Buddha: Thanks. Fall is the best! I usually pass through Peddler's Village on my way somewhere else, but when I saw that it was the scarecrow festival I had to drop in even though it was late and some attractions had already packed up for the day.

Hello,Laurie.
He is so cute!
Have you ever seen the movie"Haul's Moving Castle"(It's Japanese movie.)
I found just like him in that movie.

@miu*: Thanks. No I haven't seen it. I will have to look it up. Maybe my son saw it. He is very into all things Japanese.
