The warmer weather and windy conditions suggest that spring is now securely ensconced in the capital, and, to a somewhat lesser degree, so does the appearance of the year’s first suitably attired scarecrow.

Last season’s sinister look, however, would seem to have been dropped in favour of a much more positive approach.

With even the added bonus of a slightly peculiar penchant for propaganda-like poses.

I really like the last picture. It reminds me of Soviet or North Korean images.
Haha, or even pictures of the Obama age!
Ahh nothing says Spring like a mannequin scarecrow.
Birds?! Those would keep ME away!
This is one very fashionable Scare crow. I stand, impressed….even a bit envious?
I dunno, this still looks pretty sinister.
