Fall is such a wonderful time of the year; cooler temps, lovely fall colors and the natural scenery is remarkable. Christy and I went to the Atlanta Botanical Garden for their Scarecrow displays. We had fun taking photos of the scarecrows as well as the flowers and scenery.
This is a cool scarecrow that was welded together wonderfully. He has a lot of pumpkins surrounding him.
I always love the frog pong. They are HUGE and usually sit well for photos. We got to take a few here and this was one that turned out rather well. Thanks Froggie!
This was one of the glass sculptures that were on display. This one happen to be in one of the huge outer fountains that werent working with water in it. We took several of these. This is just a snippet of the section. The sculpture itself is rather large and very cool.
This was in the orchid house. It is part of a pitcher plant. I loved the curl of the leaves/petals and the contrasting color of red against the green. I didnt want the entire plant blossom, just a section and I really liked how it turned out.
This was one of the scarecrows in the orchid house. I immediately thought of Grateful Dead. Wonder why! They did a good job on this and the others throughout the gardens. Some really took a good deal of thought to produce. Various corporations and organizations made the scarecrows and had them on display throughout the garden area. While we were there, they were also in the middle of changing over some of the planter's floral arrangments, making them more fall plantings. Take the time to go by there either soon or next Spring. Its a lovely place to walk through, see the fountains, the flowers and enjoy the kids area as well.
