My World Tuesday

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 !

Uh oh ...

To copy a fellow blogger's dismay at autumnal colours, it is that time of year again. Well, probably not dismay at the autumn colours themselves, but more what they signify. Most trees around my area have one or two yellowing leaves. This one will suffer from premature defoliation.
