~Travel and Place~ Another Scarecrow I found at the Wollombi village In the Upper Hunter Valley NSW. The theme this year is "I want to be" and the little boy who made the scarecrow wanted to be an Airline pilot when he grew up. I am sure this entry brought in many votes. Thankyou for looking. ~Pat and Graham

LOL. Thankyou John!!!!

I still want to go and see them again, we only got halfway through! I think there is another two weeks to go.

We are going that way again on the weekend, and also the following week so I may get a chance to be able to talk Graham into it.

I'll tell John otherwise LOL.

Thankyou so much Patricia, the kiddies are proud of their scarecrows.

I heard a "Psssst". A little boy was sitting in his dads car so I went over and he said "I made that one".

How cute!

You have done well to get out and see the scarecrows already, Pat! I'm hoping the rain will not have affected them too much, as we hope to get out there sometime over easter! Great capture!!

Thank you Phil! I hope the rain hasn't spoilt the stuffing of the scarecrows if you go! We are off bright and early in the morning to the Hunter Valley Gardens for a day or two. Or three of four LOL.

I'd love to go onto Wollombi again, there is an Aborginal drawing on a rock I'd love to take a photo of. Graham wouldn't stop last time.

Have fun to you and Carolyn and Happy Easter!
