October in Edmonds means it’s time for the Edmonds Historical Museum’s annual Scarecrow Festival. Participants have two weeks to decorate and register their creative displays followed by two weeks of public voting before the winners are announced November 1st. The streets around town are full of some really imaginative scarecrows drawn from popular fiction, business themes, the arts and just plain fun but this lonely Jack Skellington sitting in front of the bank was my first photo of the season.

I love the colors and light! And what a cute scarecrow.
Thanks, Angeline. 🙂
Jack Skellington indeed 😀 lol love it!
I’m glad you like it, Andy!
Oh my gosh, he’s so sweet. And the Santa hat really sets it off. Thanks for sharing!
I liked the Santa hat too! 🙂
I have never heard of a scarecrow festival but would be right behind you with my lens. What fun!
It sure is fun, Ruth. I’ll try to get a few more photos before the end of the week. 🙂
That is a cute scarecrow !! what a fun picture 🙂
It’s nice to hear you like it, Sweety. 🙂
Cool shot!
Thanks, Kamila!
I really like that as a photo, but I find him spooky rather than cute. More photos of scarecrows would be good.
I notice you use Pinterest – how do you find it. I am thinking of creating an account for my photos.
I think he’s right on the line between spooky and cute, Annette. 🙂 I do use Pinterest to share my photos and find it easy to get around but I don’t spend a lot of time there. My pins from the blog get some traffic but the busiest boards on my page are recipes I’ve gathered from other sites. 🙂
That is interesting – thanks.
This looks like a very friendly scary. It looks as if he’s smiling. With that hat, he looks like one of Santa’s buddies 🙂 Happy Scarecrow festival, and Happy Halloween 🙂
Thanks, Mabel. 🙂 The mix of Halloween and Christmas made me smile too. 🙂
I, too, love the colours and light….
Thanks so much, Sue!
Now that’s a still life that brought a huge early morning smile. Happy Photo Challenge.
Wonderful, Sally! It’s great to know I could share an early morning smile. 🙂

He’s a little bit of Beetlejuice meets Santa!!
Yes!
It made me smile 🙂 Great image, Lisa!
Thanks, Amy! I hope you find things to smile about all day. 🙂
As with Amy, I too smiled, and chuckled out loud. Love the way you set this up for a photograph, Linda. Thank you for giving me a Gift of a Smile today!!! Love, Amy
You’re so welcome, Amy and thanks for the generous comment! 🙂
You are so welcome, Linda. You deserve it! Love, Amy
Fantastic! Artistic and a wee bit creepy…I like it!
Thanks, Nancy. 🙂 Artistic and creepy is a great description. 🙂
A little bit scary, but on the whole very cute and well captured! I want to see more…
Thanks, Jude! If we get a break in the weather tomorrow I’ll take a few more photos around town. 🙂
There’s something awfully appealing about him, Lisa 🙂 Are you missing 1 Day 1 World?
Thanks, Jo. 🙂 Yes, I am missing 1 Day 1 World a little… My Saturday night/Sunday morning were so quiet compared to the past 6 months. I need to decide on a new project. 🙂
I agree he’s right in the middle of cute and creepy.

Thanks, Janet. 🙂
