What Color is a Scarecrow?

“Don't be silly, Toto. Scarecrows don't talk.”

 

The second offering this year in my Color Collage posts, centers around a Fall icon that is near and dear to my heart!  That sentry of the fields, the Lord of the Harvest himself....the SCARECROW!  Just what is a cornfield without it's mighty protector, the Scarecrow, anyway?  Nothing I say!  Every field needs a good Scarecrow to oversee the crops and keep those pesky crows from feasting on the goods before they get to market!  And the size, style and colors of the Scarecrow are as unlimited as your own imagination of course.  


So when I ask myself the question...What Color is a Scarecrow?  I do not get one particular color or color scheme coming to mind.  No, I see lots of colors...a variety as diverse as the Scarecrows and the Crops they guard.  What about you....does any one particular color resonate with you when you envision a Scarecrow?  Or do you also see a multitude of colors coming to mind?  And...do YOU have a Scarecrow standing guard in your yard during the Autumn months?  We do, but ours is a bit 'dark' if you will, not much color other than his big ole' punkin' head!  :o)

Black and green, like in the Pink Floyd song, or black and orange, or green and orange, with a Jack O'Lantern as a head. Or brown like the Batman villain.

Oh, and your post reminds me that I need to buy and drink a Circle Master: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:CircleMaster.jpg

I love your Scarecrow! I dig the dark and creepy versions. In fact, we just unveiled ours to the neighborhood this past week (you can see him in my most recent post) and he appears to be a distant cousin to your creation!
