magic pumpkins

I found the same scarecrow in the walled garden at Hinton Ampner this afternoon. I think his lipstick might be fading and his surroundings are not as lush as last time.

Never mind, he seems to be the guardian of pumpkins by the name of 'magical'.

The pumpkins still look good though! He has a great face, rather quizzical I think! Perhaps he's wondering when he is allowed inside in the warm! Are you liking your new camera Hazel?

Great subject as he sits still!

So real, garden and scarecrow having a well deserved rest and the pumpkins add welcome autumnal, magical, colour.

Great find and capture

Just sitting patiently with his little feathered companion. A lovely capture Hazel :)

Those pumpkins sure do add a touch of color in this otherwise drab but interesting photo. Love this scarecrow!

A beautifully composed capture , love the bright colours in the foreground and the pop of red on the scarecrow's knee drawing your eye to the figure patiently sitting there !!-- is the pigeon also a model or the real McCoy just landed for a rest -- I assume it must be a model !!

All his work is done and now its time for a rest. He has grown some great pumpkins this year too. Great shot.

[Babs]

Lovely composition. He looks a very relaxed scarecrow and not scary at all

@beryl

Thanks for your comment, Beryl. Yes definitely a model pigeon!!

I love the new camera, Pat and still haven't found out all it can do - had it nearly a year now! I specially like the portrait lens, very useful.

@quietpurplehaze That's good Hazel, always a worry when you spend that amount of money if we have chosen wisely!

Fantastic picture. Congratulations on making the PP. Well deserved.
