Having shown you lots of pictures of scarecrows lurking in the downtown, I have to admit that I rarely ride the block of Sykes Street where the wedding is going on. Rather, my vision of the scarecrows this year, as every year, is down at the harbour. Every year each lamppost by the water is decorated with them, and they look great against the blue sky.
As if by magic these creative creations appear after one weekend, tied to the upper brackets of the lamps.
After spotting the first, I realized there was a long row of these. all the way down to the museum. Just enjoy them!
I remember being so pleased to see these re-appear.
And then our way is interrupted by the crazy big mural. Composed of hundreds of little squares, all painted by different artists, and put together to make one big picture, this was unveiled two or three years ago. Unfortunately no explanation has been provided. And there has been some criticism - like why a picture of a tree in front of an actual living tree, why a moose in Meaford. It may be attractive, but I, along with many others, am just puzzled. I think it would be much improved with an information plaque providing some background.
But the scarecrows march on, \all the way to the museum!

ReplyDeleteGreat scarecrows and a lot of work if those are new every year.
ReplyDeleteAcrobatic Scarecrows !! Whoever designed, made, then placed so high is extra innovative. Spelling mistake in my first comment !!
ReplyDeleteAmazing scarecrows and mural.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
That was a lot of work to construct all those scarecrows. Getting them all in different positions took a lot of time also. I am fascinated by the mural and I see the moose are really fascinated with the big tree.
ReplyDeleteThose are some very interesting scarecrows. :)
