A Crop-duster

Sometimes I like to head out with the camera in my lap and no destination in mind. Most of the time heading to country roads. Meandering (I like that word.) I turned down one road looking for old barns or houses but found instead something I have wanted to catch with my camera in the past. 

A crop-duster in action. He put on a show.

The corn was high and covered the  whole hillside.

Love finding something like this on the back roads.

Yellow Flower Ride

Yesterday was so beautiful I decided to ride Shiloh to take some pictures of a beautiful field of yellow flowers (weeds). As I saddled up I heard a sound I hate. A large tractor coming down the road clearing the ditches. He went by and i was thankful I wasn’t on the road. But I had to make the 1/2 mile ride up the road before he came back. I made it to my turnoff just as he was coming back.  Thank you again Lord. I was coming out of the woods to ride the power lines and heard another noise. Two large tractors were cutting my path down the power lines.  My quiet ride wasn’t so quiet. I rode around till they got through but suddenly Shiloh was getting more and more upset and wanting to go. I worked with him then realized my large camera was hanging down on his flank and hitting him every step he took. So I had been telling him to slow down and something else telling him to go. Poor horse with a dumb rider. But it was worth it to see the field with the green path down the middle. 

I finished the ride with a few pictures of some old cars in a yard. 

Good horse, good ride.
