About The Scarecrow
A scarecrow stands at the edge of a cornfield like a quiet sentinel, arms spread wide against the open sky. Around it the world hums along, sparrows wheel overhead, a furrow of dark soil runs straight to the horizon, and a bale of straw leans golden against the fence post. At dusk the whole meadow softens into shadow, and the scarecrow holds its ground without making a sound.
