Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography.

It's always so interesting to see these old tools that were used and are still around somewhere. I like the colouring of this photo, so soft, and sunny. And the old gnarly tree by that implement makes it look even older. Nicely done Pat. Verena

Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you can. -- Danny Kaye
When you think how the technique has progressed in almost all fields of life just in the last say, 50 years isn't it amazing? Will it continue at this rate? How will our world look in 300 years? Interesting shot, Momma, which brings all these thoughts to my mind.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
Very beautiful photography with a retro broadcast. I like it.

Thanks for this beautiful and nostalgic image Momma. Although the work on the fields was tough in the past, it had a certain charm. When one see the nowadays egines, the work is done more effective and cheaper, but, to me, the charm is gone as well.
Regards, Cornelius.

Everything goes fine, believe me! If life itsself is tough, then fight back. You have nothing to loose, just anything to win. Look at it from the bright side, no worries!
A beautiful rustic shot. It's greatly enhanced by that bit of tree hanging down to carry through the rusty feeling.

Wonderful photo. Like how the colour matches that of the leaves and tree.

Imagine there were no hypothetical situations.
Perfect clarity and a well composed image makes this one a winner in my book. Outstanding piece of work and faved by me.

Hey Pat!
A very nice and clear image! Its funny how these have come from working hard in the field to rusting in the yard. At least your getting a very good image from it!

Beautifully composed, Pat! I love how the foliage is greener around the farm implement and the dof! A wonderful look into the past! Excellent work!

Hello Pat....This is fine picture of the old hay cutter...Way back in the fifties I can remember my father using one of these and I can also remember him sharpening the blade before a cut...He actually had his one converted from horse pulling to tractor pulling...Well done....All the best to you Pat...................................................Mick.
