PH: Memorial

This week's Photo Hunt is memorial, so I've posted a few pictures from here in Summerville that seem appropriate for the theme and for this weekend. 

Here is the George Washington Bicentennial Memorial tree (or at least a part of the tree.)

Flags flying in front of Summerville Town Hall.

And, from inside O'Lacy's in Summerville, a poignant reminder:

Whatever the war, wherever in the world, let us never forget!

WW: Flowertown

Our town, Summerville, just held its annual Flowertown Festival.  Here are just a few reasons Summerville is known as Flowertown.  Believe me, I could fill many blogs with the beauty of this place.

Come back tomorrow for "Thirk Thursday."  Yes, that word is "thirk."  "Thirk" is short for "things that irk me." If you're a blogger, join in; Mr. Linky will be here each Thursday for you to link your post about one thing that irks you.

PH: Scarecrows and BAGS

It's the time of year for Summerville's Scarecrows on the Square. 
Below are pictures of the scarecrow doctor, scarecrow patient and the ever-present IV bag.

Saturday is always devoted to blogland's Photo Hunt.  Earlier this week, I posted photos of some of unique and creative scarecrows in the annual display in the center of Summerville's historic district.  I promised then to post more today, including some of my favorites.  

This week's Photo Hunt theme is "bags" and that certainly fits with scarecrows; bags, sacks and pillowcases are often used in making scarecrows.  Sometimes bags are filled with dry leaves, straw and other such things to plump up the figure. 

This display is one of my favorites.  It's sponsor is Small Wonders Imaging, a local ultrasound business.  The pregnant scarecrow is having an ultrasound performed.  There just might be a large bag in that outfit!

Here's another favorite, perhaps because I can identify with the woman who needs to get to a salon to have her roots colored.  Instead of hiding her head in a bag, she's putting her head - and roots - in the ground.

Great scarecrows to advertise a rehabilitation group, don't you think?

Happy Halloween!
