This afternoon Jackie and I followed:
Pokestop carries a Pokemon.
I just squeezed The Bisterne Royals into one frame.
Worzel is in trouble with Aunt Sally required a couple of shots, one from across the road.
We surmised he had been on the tiles with his next door neighbour who was Half Cut.
Head over Heels about Scarecrows also required a vantage point on the opposite side of the road.
Intergalactic Beastie Boys were suitably attired.
Rusty Diesel Engine is a reincarnation of other trains in previous years.
As happy as a Pig was made from a hay bale.
The stretch of Oh Look, there’s a Dragon required two frames,
and its recently hatched baby warranted her own.
Scary Crows lurked beside each other in the trees.
Baked Beans on Coast has to win any pun competition,
and the tins in the trees should not be missed.
2050 AD’s message seems to me to apply already. Don’t miss the crow in the fork.
History of Scarecrows is
most informative.
The Bells features Quasimodo.
Opposite this one children are invited to play Giant Conkers.
Nearby we find Stickman and his Family Tree.
A rather ancient patriarch sits beside a painting of Noah’s Ark.
Tom & Jerry and Unicorn Maneia share a patch of grass.
Poldark and Handsome looks to me as if he has had a sex change or maybe too much of the scrumpy beside him.
It doesn’t look as if Peter Rabbit is welcome.
Would that be The Last Straw?
After this marathon posting, I think I have earned the Wallhampton Arms carvery that the three of us are off to enjoy. I’ll no doubt drink Razor Back.
PS Note the link provided in koolkosherkitchen’s reblog comment. It provides fascinating additional illustrated history.
These are above and beyond, Derrick!! Such ingenuity, I started by picking my favorite, then the best 2 and then it got out of hand as I scrolled down! Terrific!
Glad you liked it so much, GP. Thanks very much
I <3 it! Such creative and imaginative people! I think you posted last year too, didn't you? Thanks for sharing, Derrick.
I did indeed, Donna. Thanks very much.
One vote for the Dragon please, Derrick!
Good choice, John. Thanks very much
fabulous – aren’t these thins wonderful…
They are, indeed. Thanks very much, Geoff

When I saw this post by a great blogger Derrick Knight, I couldn’t help but share it with you, Beautiful People, and add my own scarecrow bit, with a recipe – enjoy! https://koolkosherkitchen.wordpress.com/2016/09/01/stuffed-avocado/
Thank you very much, Dolly – especially for the ‘great’! I am adding a PS to alert people to the welcome extra history your link provides.
I appreciate that, Derrick, and the epithet is sincere.
🙂
What imaginations!! I don’t think we have anything like that here. Thank you for sharing!! Wonderful photos, Derrick ?
Thanks very much, Dorinda. Certainly a wonderful community event
You’re welcome!
I can’t determine which one – or ones! – I like more, Dereck, but I’ve reblogged your post. Do you see me turning green with envy? I would’ve loved to have been there, so thank you for all these photos.
Very many thanks, Dolly. Your reblog has a wonderful supplementary link
Thank you! I wish your post had appeared at the time I was working on mine, but it still worked out fine, I think.
So complementary
So true you are ?
So good! I can’t pick a favourite as they all have so much work and creativity going on. This must be the one I was comparing the earlier showing with Derrick? And the puns and word plays are as much fun as the models! You certainly do deserve your carvery meal – see you tomorrow 🙂
I think that is the one, Pauline. Thanks very much. See you, too 🙂
Fine photographs; Great fun.
Thanks very much, Roland
Aww. So nice to have that good, old-fashioned fun back. Thanks for posting!
Thanks very much, Randy
There are so many great ones here Derrick. My faves were the head over heels scarecrows. Great creativity. Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks very much, Drew. That was certainly one of the best
What fun! I love the scarecrows doing cartwheels. I hope you had your Razor Back, Derrick!
Thanks very much, Jill. It was Doom Bar in the end 🙂
They’re very clever and well done. Poldark and Handsome gets my vote for the corniest pun, or would be Baked Beans on Coast, or…. so many to choose from.
🙂 Thanks very much, Jane. That was a good one, too.
Wow…These scarecrows are really cool. A lot of detailed workmanship.
So true, Gary. Many thanks
What fun!!!
Many thanks, Gael
How clever and fun are these! Amd yes you deserved a reward to sharing the fun with us. Love and hugs, N 🙂 <3
Thanks very much, Natalie
You’re quite welcome Deerick❤️❤️❤️
Those are fascinating scarecrows made peppier still by the adjutant comments. As a child I had tried my hand at throwing stones at the winged predators without much success. My wicked cousin though could hurl projectiles that swerved and curved as they flew, at times even hitting the victims. So I can vouch for what has been written about Indians on that bulletin board.
Many thanks for your usual close attention and comments, Uma
Such talented and humorous scarecrow artists! And how could anyone resist the purple dragon and it’s little spitfire babe?! Your commentaries are always so much fun; the transgendered scarecrow, for example! ??
Very many thanks, Rose. I tried to ignore what was in his trousers 🙂
Such creative and fun scarecrows!!! 🙂 I love the baked beans! Ha! 😀 The cartwheeling head-over-heels couple is cute! 🙂 And, oh, that piggy! 😛
Thank you for sharing these with us, Derrick! 🙂
HUGS!!! 🙂
Very many thanks, Carolyn. I’m glad you liked them 🙂
Fabulous pictures, with such clever scarecrow dioramas.
Beans on Coast, the cartwheeling ones, and the stick men family were my favourites.
(We had a new shop open in St. Ives this summer: Cheese on Coast….. lots of local and artisan cheeses)

🙂 Thanks very much, Melanie. Three of our favourites, too
AMazing that it’s a year since the last one! My, time is flying – like some of the scarecrows! Great pics and kudos to the folks who produce these…these…um…scarecrows!!
Thanks very much, indeed, Rob
How artistic!
Thanks very much, Arlene
So wonderful
Thanks very much, Cinnamon
You’re so welcome
These are amazing–such much creativity and work. I can’t really pick a favorite, although I did really love the Head over Heels. Thank you for sharing, Derrick. I hope you enjoyed your meal. 🙂
Many thanks, Merril. I like that one, too; and our meal was good.
Some of these made me laugh out loud! And the dragon is amazing!
Too true, Leslie. Many thanks
So much fun. And, oh, that dragon!
It is wonderful, isn’t it? Many thanks, Laurie
You know I always love your scarecrow photos. This set is the best yet.
I think so, too, Cathi. Thanks very much
