Visited the Arboretum where they were having a bird house competition. There were a few categories, Adult Serious, Adult Fancy and children were divided into age groups. I took pics of some memorable entries.
This was in fancy and was a great tiled pieced. You got a ballot slip and could mark the best in each grouping.
This was my #1 for fancy. Like a great vintage piece of furniture
This was all wood and was an incredible example of modern design
This was in the children's 7-9 age group and it was very creative. Sometimes you could tell the kids had a lot of help from an adult, but there was one in particular that just screamed out, "i did it all by myself and in only 4 minutes!"
You can't really see in the pic, but they DID cross out the word tissues, and they used masking tape to get that popsicle stick perch on. Off in the corner a dad was consoling an obviously upset child, telling him to look around at the other's to get some ideas for next year. HEE-HEE.
