That is just amazing.  I would love to see him in person!

In Maryland, the farmers use a few hay bales to create characters, but they are NOTHING on this scale.

Speaking of tumbleweeds, several years ago, I watched a show about a woman who creates very pricey chandeliers from tumbleweeds.  It was fascinating.  She said they've are often in remote areas so she's got to scour the countryside for them.

The lights were unique, but not my cup of tea.  I like this use of them a lot better

@Witchy Woman.  Ha!  They're surely not in remote areas here.  I pluck babies out of my yard every summer.  Occasionally big ones blow in and I have to wrestle them into the garbage can.

They constantly shed seeds.  I don't think I'd want one over my table.

@Kachina624 - WOW, that tumbleweed snowman is huge! Hope he's wired together so the winds don't send him rolling.

@riley1.  Last night on the news they showed a video of a worker "fluffing" him.  He appeared to be covered in fine netting.   I feel sure he's somehow tethered as he's never blown away and we get some big winds.

@Kachina624  - my laugh for the day - He was being "fluffed" - too funny.

Just passed thru Albuquerque on Hwy 40 a few hours ago, did not see the snowman. . Am in Gallup now. Maybe I will see him Tues on the trip back home.

@yellowrose. I don't know how you could miss him unless he is on the opposite side and there was a truck in the way.  Watch for him coming back.

He's a big boy
