Description
Yesterday appeared to be the first day to make hay around here.
I've learned to get my pictures right away. Farmers here are fast. The 1000+ lb rolls and the old fashioned, smaller bales are here today, gone tomorrow.
Hay making gives me a chance to upload something different in between my many museum shots :-)

When we were kids, buckin' hay was a popular body-building summer job. Some of the bales now look like they'd have to be picked up by a crane. This machine still has the old timey feel, at least. If the hay is dry, hurry up. It gets ruined fast if it rains too much. Love the perspective view you added, too.

lovely shot, nice open lighting, and the top panel gives the feeling of the beautiful sweep of the land and its rich hues as it's being opened up & harvested...Very nice montage, Bill. (I once asked a physician friend what would happen if we ate hay: He said "it'd probably cut up your insides". I said, "really???" He said, "yeah, there's fiber and there's fiber: That stuff can get as hard as fiberglass...you'd have to cook it a lonnnnng time." Don't know why I told you that, as I don't imagine you planned a meal of hay & granola recently, but I found it fascinating that horses can handle the stuff & we can't...)
