This is the third day of the Scarecrow Festival in Mahone Bay. I’m not sure if it’s a benefit to art galleries or not, but there are certainly a lot of people on the streets. The latest exhibition at moxie* is called “Autumn Light” and opened on Friday.
The weather here in Nova Scotia has been lovely the past week; sunny days and blue skies for the most part, and the leaves are just starting to change colour. The best time of year!

The Scarecrow Festival started four or five years ago, and it’s a great hit with locals and visitors. One of the highlights is the Pumpkin Path, which features over 100 handcarved pumpkins in various designs… all made by one woman. At night it’s a lovely sight, when they are all illuminated by candles.
Drats, I was hoping to make it down for the Scarecrow festival and to check out your show. I’m afraid to ask why Didier is so accustomed to dancing scarecrows!
I really like that picture of your new location–should it be used in the front page rotation?
