This brought a smile to my countenance as I am sure it has hundreds of others who were driving by. I have seen these little wooden statues planted in people's yards making it look like some one in weeding, but this is hilarious. Nice pop of color.

Delightful! Very funny catch. What I like most is the sense that this would make a nice picture even without the figure. Really fun. Cheers, JR

Comment from Life is but a dream.
There it is, that wonderful sense of humor!

Finally to see white snow instead of blue, couldn't pass this one up.

You need special eyes to see this I can imagine how many smiled and walked by, but you decided to bring it to the FAR family.

Sharp, well exposed, well composed and nicely saturated, techs are perfect..

But it's the humor that places this into the winner's circle for me.

A familiar sight all round the world, not the statue the real thing. Nice shot well spotted and great title.
