This is the last day of the Scarecrow Contest at Otsiningo Park in Binghamton, New York. And, we are at the peak of fall color.
So I went back to the park to take some updated scarecrow pictures.
Saturday, I posted a picture of the Justice for Aliza scarecrow. I hope to never, ever see a scarecrow like this ever again. As I explained Saturday, Aliza Spencer was a 12 year old girl murdered in 2022 walking in her neighborhood with two family members. No suspects have ever been arrested. This picture is a little different than Saturday's, though. Take a look at the sign that says "15".
Someone perched a decorative male Northern cardinal on the sign. Many people believe that Northern cardinals have spiritual symbolism. Some believe angels are near. Others believe cardinals bring comfort for grieving families.Strangely, after typing this last paragraph outside on my laptop, I looked up and a male Northern cardinal was sitting on my back yard fence.
But on a lighter note, here's a couple of more. I had included a picture of firemen scarecrows from a local volunteer fire department. This time I decided to photograph it from the back.
One more.

This is certainly a time of year when creativity is on display in the landscape. Nice images.
ReplyDeleteIn UK, we say that 'robins appear when loved ones are near' - which is a lovely thought and nothing to do with them hanging around as we dig or sweep in the garden and uncover tasty morsels for them.
ReplyDeleteSuch a tragedy. If it was random, and it would seem it was, perhaps someone, eventually, will talk. I have never seen a cardinal. Then, you may not have seen some of my native birds, so we're even!
ReplyDeleteI like cardinals, they are pretty. Great pictures.
ReplyDeleteFreaky about the cardinal.
