We have spent the weekend combating wasps. My wife found out the hard way that they were not amused when the clematis was being pruned and they attacked when disturbed. They had a nest in our bird box. The only way we defeated them was to drop the box into a bucket of water and hold it under with a house brick for 24 hours.
Other creatures are much less threatening in the summer sun.

This photo was taken from 15ft away and through the double glazed window of our lounge.
I also came across a youngster that was not in the least bit afraid.

Twenty-six houses hosted scarecrows this year. I'll post more of them in separate blog posts as I did last year.

Scarecrows are abundant on this side of the pond at Halloween.
The wasps hide in our mailbox. I got stung this year and my whole arm swelled up. Beautiful photographs. The scarecrows looks really lifelike.
Wasps? Ouch! We have them here in the States, too.
Loved the photos, Bob. The cricket match is so clever. :)
Blessings!
Those red geums are so pretty, Bob. I'm looking forward to seeing some more of the scarecrows!
I wonder if that mouse is named Jack?

Alexia's comment is funny! Maybe he is! I like your summer blossoms and those yard scarecrow people are great !
Wasps, oh dear, they are a sign of summer. Love the scarecrows.
That scarecrow cricket game is great! Great set of pictures.
What a great combination of images for Britain - scarecrows and cricket!
