Made My Day!

I was driving along this morning and this scarecrow on someone's lawn jumped out at me because it was backlit by the sun, making it stand out from the house in the background. I mean, it is tied to the lamp post, so it didn't actually move toward me - figure of speech, you know? Anyhow, I kept driving while thinking about the happy expression on its face. I stopped at a stop sign a block away, and then realized I needed to go back and take the photo. I have no idea why I didn't stop instantly, but it is telling that after seeing the scarecrow, it stayed with me, and I went back. I smiled for the rest of the day, thinking about this happy character. You might want to click on the photo to see it in more detail.
