Making Hay While the Sun Shines

I ended this shot on my back in a ditch. As I bent down on the side of the road to get the right angle my feet began to slide on the long grass which hid the ditch. As I was going down the photographer's survival technique kicked in: Save your camera at all costs.

 

So while sliding I deliberately rolled onto my back. No harm done to camera or person, except Marjorie did think for a moment I might have been having a heart attack. Never mind. This photograph was worth it. You can see how the tractor driver is using a hay baler to collect the cut grass and produce those round bales.
