No one gets between a girl and her tractor! This is a shot I took about six years ago of a little family friend named Hannah. She was about 8 years old and her Grandpa just 'gave' her this tractor. Of course she couldn't drive it without him, but she was still deliriously happy. Hannah has always been the toughest, sweetest, most fun tomboy I've ever met! She has since grown into a perfect young lady (who can still kick some b*** if she ever has to)!! ~~~I really love this old shot and thought it would look great if it appeared to be even older. I used a pencil sketch effect in Paint.net and also a tile reflection effect just for kicks!!!

Love the vintage look to this , Tina .
When I was a little Girl my Father and Grandfather would set me on their laps and let me drive the tractors. I loved it and thought I was big stuff especially with my brothers ! It is safe to say this is how I learned to drive ... tractors and Dad's truck.

The way she sits there, it looks as though she could manage without grandpa. Good one Tina.

I would have loved to have a tractor when I was a kid...but I had no place for it. I didn't live on a farm, and we didn't have a garage, a shed or anything like that. LOL. Excellent work, Tina.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

I'm no farming expert but I'm pretty sure the wagon is supposed to hitch to the back of the tractor. Makes it easier to lose the load without noticing it right away. Interesting post work on the old capture.
