At Waipu, about 40 kms away a couple built two large bears out of hay bales They are 4m tall. Doug's youngest daughter takes the mail to Waipu every morning and sent us this photo.
The couple who built them had seen them in the States and decided that they now had time to build them. They had not heard about the Bear Hunt at that time but they have been very popular.
Those teddies are so creative and bring a smile to the face. I love the way people make things out of hay bales, it is always interesting to see them as one travels around the countryside (when one can!).

DeletePretty commonplace around here. Lots of different creations too.
ReplyDeleteYes your part of the world is where it all started. Nice trend.
DeleteNice. Here they try to recreate old black oil drums; they're very realistic too!
ReplyDeleteOften green oil drums here.
DeletePeople can be quite creative with extra time on their hands.
