I love this time of year and one of the many reasons is getting lost on the
Farm/Art DTour. I spit on sizzling apple brats and delicious cheeses while the siren song of giant earth worms and tractor walls beckon. Sauk County will fill their fields with farm art, poetry, performers and pieces like this from October 1-9 and I will be there with a pile of maps and a broken compass.

Week's Favorite because it reminds me of a
sandworm

I Made This trip through a winding, bumpy country side without getting completely lost in the sense that I had to be rescued and towed home.

I agree, I just love the feeling of fall!
ReplyDeleteIt's just so cool, Tamar.
DeleteHow interesting! I have never seen images like these! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHey Denyse, I couldn't find a link on your profile but thanks for stopping by. It is incredible. I mean it's right up there with Irishfest and finding money. It's how I'd like to see the world, with a performance or artwork in every field and funny poems and baked goods on every roadway. It's also full of Amish buggies and amazing landscapes.
ReplyDeleteWOW FAntastic finds in the fiels and quie creative. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteIt's part of a yearly festival with 50 some mile tour of all sorts of interesting creations, Margaret. I can't wait to post the installations I saw yesterday.
DeleteA trip through a winding, bumpy countryside with a pile of maps and a broken compass is the way to go girl! Cool part of the world.
ReplyDeleteThat is your wheelhouse, my friend. I hate getting lost and always do. If you knew how I poured over maps and color coded roadways yesterday before this year's Tour DArt, Oy! Sadly I was lost before I hit 10 miles and REALLY lost at about 20 miles into the tour yesterday.
DeleteWow, I've never seen anything similar to this before - what a great art festival! That stacked wood is remarkable! Love the grain bins too!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, they've got all sorts of craft and hobby classes and things going on in town I've yet to take advantage of. But I love the Farm Art Tour. Stay tuned, some cool stuff from yesterday to come. And I got lost (of course) and missed a chunk.
DeleteThis is the ultimate gallery! The silos are cool, the stacked wood is a wonderful canvas for the tractor, the palomino made from hay adorable and what an earthworm!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ralph, these are from Art Tours past which got me pretty psyched to go yesterday. Your fest looked like a spirited event, loved the walking pumpkin guy.
DeleteOh my gosh I love this stuff! The ultimate outdoor art for sure! Getting lost is half the fun (excep if you're towing a fifth wheel behind your freight liner truck. Then it stinks).
ReplyDeleteIt is so very cool, despite my horrid sense of direction. Fortunately it's close enough for me to visit a few times before they take everything down so I can take it all in. So, you have experience towing a fifth wheel behind a freight liner truck, Sallie?
DeleteLove the hay horse. - Margy
ReplyDeleteThere was a hay cow and hay dog, too.
DeleteA fantastic post. I love these photos.

ReplyDeleteI love all these images. Beautiful Autumn captures.
Happy Sunday, enjoy your new week!
These are from a previous fest and better weather. I'm hoping to return and get some sunnier shots this week.
DeleteGood advise not to text and drive - haha, I can see that wood pile so carefully stocked crumble because of careless move! And it looks very much like a big worm in the last one! Hope you lost all your pain? Have a great week ahead, and many hanks for sharing these humorous Farmers Art/dTour!
ReplyDeleteI haven't quite yet, but as of yesterday, Sunday, MUCH better. It took long enuf and still taking Advil blah blah ouch blah.
DeleteWhat wonderful artwork! They are so creative and look like a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteYeah I liked these better than what I saw last weekend although I found a few fun things. I also missed a few fun things as well );
DeleteGosh that is so cool! Very clever art indeed.
ReplyDeleteThere's been a lot of clever stuff during this fest, Steph.
DeleteFall is wonderful! I am so glad you've shared these great scenes with us. I'm already thinking of stealing a couple for my pumpkin patch for next year. Thanks so much for joining me for Friday's Hunt. Have a great week ahead!
ReplyDeleteI think the goat babies would love a sandworm to look at.
DeleteI like the colorful silos. Don't text and drive made me laugh. Regarding the capthca sign, it always shows up but if you don't have it enabled readers can skip filling it in and their comment should still go through.
ReplyDeleteI disabled the CAPTCHAs for both my blogs but it doesn't make any difference on my cousin's computer. She has an older PC and isn't signed into Google. She also uses WP instead of Blogger but I figure it's a Google thing that overrides your choices.
Deletelovely images! I love these crisp shots...
ReplyDeletewhat camera system do you use?
It's just my Canon t3i with the kit lens for these photos, Arv.
