If you've been reading the newspapers over the last few days, you've undoubtedly been alarmed to hear that scarecrows are invading the southshore town of Mahone Bay. Actually there is nothing to be alarmed about unless, of course, you miss the three-day affair that ends on Sunday.
Mahone Bay seems to grasp hold of any excuse to have a festival and, as a photographer, this is one of my favourites. The whole town seems to get into the act and you'll find scarecrows of all shapes and sizes peering at you as you stroll the streets of town.
It's lots of fun for the whole family and don't forget to take your camera and lots of film. Oh! wait, we don't shoot film anymore do we, so leave plenty of space on your digital memory cards instead. Have a look at some images I shot last year.
Oh! I almost forgot. Wait until darkness arrives and visit the Magical Pumpkin Path between 7 & 9 pm to see more than 150 carved and lighted pumpkins, the handiwork of Jo-Ann of Jo-Ann's Market. Take a look.
