Scarecrows In The Village II

 I know this is total insanity but try to remember there were 150 scarecrows,
and so many of them were so unique and colorful.
Keep in mind, they call these "scarecrows"...
but they are really unique "creations" made by very creative people.
I shared a lot of my favorites on Monday here.
These are the rest of my favorites, there's a lot...scroll quickly and feel free to pick a favorite,
or even skip this and miss all of the wonderfulness.

























We had such a fun day.
The weather was perfect for autumn scarecrow viewing.
I only went in one shop and bought 2 postcards for us to send to each other.
I'm not much of a shopper but the stores here are really unique!

Adding Color...

 I love Asbury Park, NJ...home to Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band.
Those that live in the area feel like Rock & Roll got a big bump in Asbury Park. 

I have a small butterfly tattoo on my right foot.
I got the tattoo when I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis more than 25 year ago.
It is a constant reminder that change can be a good thing...
- just when the caterpillar thought life was over, it turned into a butterfly -


I came here, to have it recolored.



Across the street...this majestic swan was gliding across the lake.

No trip to Asbury Park is complete without a walk along the boardwalk.



And you must take a peek at the ocean, just to make sure it is still there.

Scarecrows In The Village

 We go every year...
A village of unique shops with a free display of over 150 Scarecrows that line the brick pathways.
These are not your traditional scarecrows, guests vote for their favorites in 
categories that include Traditional, Quite The Character, Funny Bones, Fright Night, Kids Only,
and some of the shops create displays that convey the theme of their store!

I am sharing some of my favorites...


















This one was my favorite...it was so bright and colorful
These are some of the best of the 150 on display!

Wise Words On Sunday

 

- nothing could be truer -

I have been enjoying Autumn so much, all of the fun fall festivities,
craft shows, pumpkins, scarecrows, decorations, mums and so much more.
I didn't write yesterday because having fun was in the cards, there is so much "fun stuff" to do!
I have hundreds of pictures to share... 
I hope you are having as much fun as I am, enjoy every day...soon, winter will be upon us.
Although, I love winter too!
