On a recent visit to Clear Lake we stopped at the Central Gardens of North Iowa to check out what was going on there. It is one of our favorite places to stop and take pictures as the land scape is always changing and the flowers are so meticulously cared for that it makes a delightful visit each and every time we stop by. This day was no exception as there was a scarecrow display. As we strolled through I snapped some pictures and overheard some of the students who were there who had contributed to the displays which was kind of fun. Hope you enjoy the slideshow of scarecrows—some scarier than others but each with a personality of their own!

The Clear Lake Central Gardens are one of my favorite places to go and write.
Who knows—maybe you have been there writing when I have been wandering!!!! We really ought to meet sometime!!!!
Beyond cool
Some were pretty creative!!!!
I kinda want to make a scarecrow now!
Go for it!!!! I would imagine you would have some help!!!
You mean “help,” right?
Yes–exactly!!!
I also have the desire to make a scarecrow. It would look great in my front flower bed. I really thought some of the scarecrows you showed were outstahding.
Maybe we can make one when I am there this week!!!! Put your thinking cap on!
Some really unique ones! Looked like a fun thing to do and the flowers are just beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for stopping by!
what an cool and unique idea! I kinda want to do a scarecrow in my front yard now for Halloween. Thanks for sharing.
Send me a pic when you make yours!!!
Isn’t it amazing the things people come up with? So much creativity out there. The flowers are so pretty!
The flowers there are beautiful any time you go! Lots of volunteers make that happen. And the scarecrows were an added bonus this time!
Always fun to see such creativity. Our local Minnesota State Academy for the Deaf always sponsors a scarecrow festival each year. In fact, your post reminds me that it might currently be on exhibit.
I will look forward to seeing your pictures of “your” scarecrow display!!!
What a fun post, Beth Ann! Of course, my favorite is the one that looks like it’s made of cans! LOL
Hugs,
Kathy
Of course that one was your favorite!!!
We have a Clear Lake just North & West of Winnipeg – it’s beautifully clear & cold. Loved some of the scarecrows, they were very creative. Makes me wish I could take photos.
I would imagine your Clear Lake is a little different than ours but that is pretty neat to have one named the same thing in Canada!!! And I bet you could take pictures!!! I just usually use my phone or a point and shoot digital and don’t pull out the fancy camera!
Some creative creations here–Cute slide show for fall!
I thought there were some really cute ones!!!
Very creative. Not at all what I would have expected to see.
Some of these are pretty amazing. You can tell a lot of thought went into them. Love the flowers too.
