Here's the last tractor, and whacko title, in this series and it's all green and yellow... including the background except for the country lane and sky. It's a two cylinder John Deere Model-A tractor in the big assembly at the Dougherty Museum year end party. According to Wikipedia (and this doesn't come from the illegal political right jive artists so it is probably true), the John Deere Model A was produced to directly compete with McCormick's Farmall tractors. It was a very popular tractor that used Deere & Company's famous two cylinder design. Early tractors burned distillate, and became a main selling point because of its low price. Deere & Company's two cylinder design made a very distinctive sound giving them the nickname "Johnny Poppers."
There is a tractor that wasn't in line at the back. This is surely a raft of diverse tractor manufacturers. I had to shoot this because of the background green and yellow sunflowers. Beyond are fields, sky and farms from the "California Burning" sky. Although we toured the museum's inside some time ago in the heat of summer, I surely didn't remember such a vast host of agricultural implements inside with others scattered elsewhere. We are still stuck in the heat of summer and Trump is out of paper towels and passion for the Carolinas although his supporters there are learning global warming lessons.
A couple of Saturdays back Dougherty had their end of summer blow out. Boulder County Open Space maintains and opens the museum on summer Fridays and weekends. They moved a load of their antiques outside and into the daylight which was a grand improvement especially for those with cameras. The museum started when Ray Dougherty started to acquire old automobiles. He finally branched out to antique farm equipment and early home entertainment devices.
This was a dandy day and I am glad eDDie jumped me to get down there at 9:00 on the stroke of opening. I was over toasted after a couple of hours. Summer t'ain't over here; we get a week of 90s this September week. I must have been a little later than dead on time because folks were shuttling to park and around exhibits. My first trek was over to machinery. From the size of the tractor lineup, I had a load of shooting at this event.
- www.kevin-palmer.com - After 3 days of dumping snow, whiteout conditions, and winds up to 60mph, the blizzard slowly came to an end. In its wake was 2 feet of fresh snow, with drifts much higher. Since it would still be days before the roads into Theodore Roosevelt National Park were cleared, I set off into the park on foot. The bison could be anywhere, but they were exactly where I hoped to find them. Standing 6 feet tall and weighing up to 2,000 pounds, bison are the largest mammal in North America. Few animals are better suited to endure a blizzard and thrive in deep snow. They use the muscles in their necks and shoulder humps to push snow out of the way with their massive heads, like nature's snowplow. Bison eat 24 pounds per day, and they had no problem finding the grass buried under the snow. It was fascinating observing this group of 4 from a safe distance for more than an hour.
Kitty Glitter styled this composite photo shoot with her two selves (yes, they are the same person) although a friend of Kitty's did the compositing. This photo accompanied a first-person interview with Kitty that appeared in the Sydney Star Observer a couple of weeks ago. Fortunately the print reproduction didn't show up its technical flaws!! (colour balance, lack of sharpness, shadows) ;)
Sydney, 2007
I'm planning to keep taking photos of these two! On this one the rising sun is just catching the top of the larger one.
Luna and Lenovo. Something about the way she was sitting on the keyboard was causing the desktop icons to cycle through their various sizes and re-arrange themselves. I should have taken a movie.
well, this week was only four days due to us having friday off. but it felt like centuries. i swear being a senior in high school will be the death of me. the days go by so slowly, i should be slacking as a senior but i have so many ap classes that i can't really completely ignore school at all.
i am still constantly busy and i hate it, if school didn't exist, or actually waste my time doing things that won't be incorporated into my future, i could get a lot more done artistically.
sigh, well hopefully this next week will go by fast since i also have monday off and i really want it to stop being freezing cold and drizzly outside all the time, it hinders my photoshoot options.
anyway, i will be uploading more from this shoot in the next couple of days, along with other random photos i have yet to post anywhere.
new week, new emotions, new pictures.
here i come.

Submitted for Our Daily Challenge April 11 - Exactly Three Colours (I think I stretched this a bit...)
Two of a group of three I found together. The rut is over, deer are back in single-sex herds, and they will soon drop their antlers.
3 in a series of 3.
