It’s not Pokemon Go. I can imagine the local yarn bombers creating Pokemon characters, but this comes from a different decade and old-fashioned arcades.

First I spotted this.

As seen at the downtown farmers’ market

Then I moved to the next planter.

And the picture became clear.

It’s not virtual reality. It’s yarn reality. Someone who is creative and handy with knitting needles or a crochet hook created this fun and simple vignette on a downtown sidewalk.

There are often surprises at the Saturday market. When I’m buying peas and beans and other goodies, I keep my eyes peeled for fun like this.

Readers, have you seen yarn bombing? Other random examples of public art? Share in the comments.
