Description
Been in a bit of a creative slump, so I decided to comb my archives for images of summer.
Growing up in a small mid-western town, I think this photo sums up summer perfectly for me.
Whether your summer festival is all about sweet corn or all about cow chips, these guys will be there.
They're always there... though not in the numbers they used to be.
Ironically enough, this was from my last shoot on film... another dying breed.
------------------
My Poser creativity hit a skid. No new ideas for awhile now.
Though last night I was inspired to write which inspired an image.
Now if only I have the technical skills to pull it off.
We shall see.
As always, thanks for the comments. They are greatly appreciated.

Great pic and oh so true. Small town farms are a dying breed that if they should ever pass will mark the end of this great country!

Tractors!!! Where are the sparklies??? ;) One of the parades I went to the first year I was here had a parade of tractors, and that's when I knew I was in a different world. I think this is a great shot, and view into small town life. Even without the sparklies. :) hugs

Oh Jason! HUGS Sometimes we need some challenges to get motivated. A great place for that is dreamslayerartworks.com There are other places like it, but other artists there challenge each other and it's pretty cool. I think our summers here are similar to yours. We have lots of farms and sweet corn and a little more north east we have cherries, plums, grapes, peaches.. Pennsylvania is pretty cool..atleast where I'm sitting.

I live in a small town in Michigan. We have the John Deere brigade (all green tractors) and until recently, a giant black and white cow float. I live on the main street so all the parades go right past my house. You forgot the Shriners in their little cars and also the horses and firetrucks! (grin)
