Default Scarecrow Contest

Every year Long Beach Island has a scarecrow contest. The stores make scarecrows and put them outside to get judged. They always have a beach theme.Here are a few I took today. I will post more when I am allowed.

Wow these are really cool. Love the way the community comes together and share their scarecrow creations. My fave is the last one, I like the composition and the theme. You did a great job at capturing these.

Really cool shots. We have a town near us that puts out scarecrows. Last year they were going for a record and had 5,441 documented. It was fun, but spooky, too. Looking forward to seeing more of yours.
