If you didn't see this year's "Scarecrows in the Garden" exhibition at the Atlanta Botanical Garden, you missed a great time! Yes, there are a bazillion people like me posting photos of the scarecrows, but the they don't compare to the real thing—and the real thing comes with experiencing them with enthusiastic fellow Garden-goers.
I'm posting a few here, but encourage you to do two things:

The above scarecrow was really quite lovely. A nod to Mother Earth.
The above scarecrows are an obvious nod to "Titanic", the movie. This one was very well done and an example of how intricate and complex a lot of this year's entries were.

There were approximately 115 scarecrows this year and they came from everywhere! They were submitted by individuals, businesses, non-profits, schools, scouts, and restaurants. Can you guess where the above "Medieval" scarecrow came from?

I liked the above scarecrows a lot too. It's a nod to "Day of the Dead", a holiday celebrated in Mexico (and other parts of the world) to remember and pray for friends and family who have died. This is a close up of a much larger group in the same display.
