On my way to get my bones scanned yesterday (all fine btw) I passed this amazing piece of art work by the young farmers of the neighborhood and thought I share them with you for a bit of fun for feathered Friday.
I unleashed my creative abstract juices on these representations of cartoon characters from a computer game called Angry Birds purely for your entertainment. What has this got to do with bird photography? Err! Nothing at all. 😂 It's Art!
Every year at hay baling time the young farmers create an art piece for the people passing on the road to admire and wonder at. This year it's the Angry birds.
Angry Birds
I had to stop the car and get out and take a wander around this piece of rural art and I must say it is well made and beautifully painted.
Whoever created it, had a flair for these little cartoon terrors. I never did play the game itself but I taught many students how to recreate the game themselves using MIT's Scratch program. It's a good program for teaching basic concepts before their intro to Python. But I digress.
It is amazing what you can create with a little bit of hay and a few cans of paint.
Hay Hay?
Hay, we all need a bit of fun now and again...hey?
A Young farmer?
As I pulled out of this art installation because that is what it is in reality. I saw this farm vehicle and wondered if the driver was the artist of this fun piece of hay art? We may never know? It's like a rural #Banksy the unknown graffiti artist.
This art work below was the last piece of #haybaleart that I shared almost 2 years ago...holy smoke!
I didn't even know that hay bale art was even a 'thing' back then? I have learned a lot in the last 2 years. 😂
I hope that this post put a little smile on your face and that you have a lovely weekend ahead.
This post is for @melinda010100 who's bird photography is simply brilliant and getting better every week. Melinda is curating the #featheredfriday tag initiated by @keithboone

It's pretty niche but has a long tradition here in the Fens. It gets all pagan real quick under the surface in this neck of the woods.
Bottoms up!

Want to have your post on the map too?
Thanks folks, another little transient jewel to add to the map.
Those are so cute and a good one for #featheredfriday!
Haha those cute little faces cracked me up. Gave me the giggles all the way home.
I never played that game, but those faces always make me laugh, too. They did a good job with them!
NOw hay art is something i have never seen before but how cool and creative it is ;)
It is amazing how creative people can be and this must give so many people a little lift on their way to work.
I know if I was driving past and saw them it would make me smile and be in such a better frame of mind ;)
haha! Howdy sir molometer! I didn't know that hay bale art was even in existence so this was very fun and interesting!
It's been around a very long time but not very well known outside of the communities that create it. Super niche! 😂🔓
indeed! I think they need to export that to the U.S.! That would be fun.

This absolutely put a smile on my face. So clever and fun to add an art component to hale baling. On a side note my son and I are learning on scratch write now:)
It made me smile on the way to get the scan done and I just had to stop on the return journey to get some photos.
Scratch is an excellent fun way to learn coding concepts. Have fun with your son 🔝🔛🔜🔚😱
That is so cute! Put a smile on my face!
Good to hear. It made me smile too. 😂 So creative those farmers.
Love the haystack art, I've never seen this before!
It's pretty rare even over here but I have spotted a couple over the years. They are both above. 😂
