Wednesday Wonder- make hay while the sun shines

Sometimes when I pick my Wednesday wonders I pick what I think could not possibly have purpose in art as a medium and most of the time I am gratefully wrong.
I do not know why Hay popped in to my head but it did and here it goes.

This picture is from Amazing Art, another website to visit again and again.
This link will take you to their main page.
This picture and the one below come from them.

This is the page for amazing hay art

Click the link above to go see some bale art. This really is amazing.
Make sure you go see the rocket ship and castle.

Hay, there is a whole festival in Killington, Vermont for hay bales and some great hay art.
You can find that at About.com

Hay there even is a a tourist attraction in http://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/7274
Forkland, Alabama - Jim Bird's Hay Bale Art. No hay!!

And just so you know, I got this from Answers.com

"Hay is dried grass.
Straw is the dried stalks of harvested cereals, such as wheat, barley and oats."



Hay, I knew that!!

  4. Wow, Marie - this is really fabulous! I'm going to have to head up to Killington - although I think the hay would probably kill my hubby (he's really allergic). Theresa

  5. Oh my god, marie: and i thought a garden scarecrow was pretty cool!

    AND is THIS the reason i have such cravings to slirp my cherrios through a straw in my own garden?

    OR why i desire to roll in the grass sometimes while I'm pinching back the basil?

    such important questions: all because of you. ♥
