I am surrounded by scenes like this - the foothills of the Rockies are predominantly prairie farmland - cattle and ranches, horses and low-lying bushes, animal feed-making fields, which then give way to pine forests and then bloody great snow-capped rocks. I never tire of it.A peaceful vista for the new autumnal season.
As an aside, it's got me wondering when did the farm machinery change from spewing out rectangular bales to these round ones - how many years ago? It's surely more difficult to make seats for your Ho-Down, or to build your new hay bale home with these large barrels !
Lovely shot, thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteI remember the appearance of those round bails when I was about 16... so just 10 years ago. ;-)
Wow, what a lovely view you have. Seeing the mountains in the distance would be an awesome sight for me.
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone.
ReplyDeleteI believe you marnie!
a farmland surrounded bu beautiful natural sceneries. i would definitely love to explore more of the place. thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI used to have a horse and bought hay by the bale. I'm not sure how people buy hay any more if they are all in huge bundles like in your picture. I invite you to come visit Old Fairhaven in Washington State. - Margy
ReplyDeleteI see you bale your hay into wheels like we do eover here.....and I thought we were the only ons to do it as well !
ReplyDeleteIndeed they used to be oblong, and piled high into shelters. Not that I would ever go near one.
ReplyDeleteExcellent pics!
adullamite - you've reminded me now that I don't often see these wheels of hay stacked up in shelters - many seem to be left out all year round - surely the snow here would rot them?! Apparently not.
