I remember as a kid seeing a lot more crop duster's dusting the fields. But you don't nearly see as many crop duster anymore, mainly because of the chemical issues and I believe due to the modifications of the crop itself to be more disease resistance.
Having talked to a lot of crop dusters pilots over the years I've never met one that had never crashed at least once, I guess that's the occupational hazard of their job.
Fairy dusters are wispy and delicate Sonoran desert flowers. They bloom in late winter to early spring and are like dazling jewels on the desert floor.

BNSF 1864 on the 816 local shoves down the Marshall spur in Valley Park, releasing air and kicking up a plume of dirt and dust from the covered over tracks. Derailments down this spur have become more common, and eventually the last customer down this line will fade sooner than later.
As we left the house this morning to get a coffee I debated about bringing the camera – the plan was to run for coffee and come right back home, would I really need it? I opted to grab it anyway. Two blocks after picking up the coffee, suddenly, out of nowhere, it became clear that the correct answer had won. A helicopter crop duster swooped narrowly above us, turned and went back to the field. My husband quickly pulled the car over and I grabbed the camera.
It was amazing to watch the pilot fly barely over power lines, cross the road and turn that baby nearly brushing the tops of trees! I snapped about 50 photos of his antics, some so close you can see his face and just part of the helicopter. I felt elated that I had the camera with me and something had happened! The rush, the joy! You never know where it will appear!
One of 3 Strike Eagles that made up "Duster Flight" on a stunning day in Wales..Great company, great weather, and super passes from the aircrew at work..Thank you!
This is a Duster (Pingasa abyssiniaria, Geometridae, span ca. 4cm) resting at the base of a miombo tree (Mikembo sanctuary, DR Congo, Katanga, January 2014). It is fairly easily recognised by its pale speckled design with two thin black dentate lines on the fore wings and just one on the hind wing. An easy subject for stacking ... you have all day :-)

Linen duster coat, complete! I can't believe how long it took me, I've been working all week. I wanted to make a "simple coat" but of course I underestimated and it took forever. 😅 This was just the initial sewing of it so next time will be quicker since I have the pattern finalized. I think I'll give it another round of distressing, it didn't come out as bright as I wanted, but I wanted to share a photo of it before I have to wait for it to dry overnight again.
The coat was drafted on the Smart Doll body, but I added a little give, plus ties on the back, so I think other SD dolls can wear it too (this is a Volks SD13 mannequin). The top half is lined to prevent staining.
Unfortunately, I only had enough fabric to make one, I just barely don't have enough to make extras. While intended to be part of my Winterberry Smart Doll collection, it won't be part of the sales update when everything is finished. The good news is that this fabric I can reorder, so if I get enough interest I might take preorders for it during the update.
Wow what a great restored automobile. The 1971 Plymouth Duster was a great fun car. A couple of my friends had these and they were very quick. Especially with a few engine mods. This Duster was also a 4spd which made it even nicer in my books.
It was fun to watch this crop duster make overhead turns as he prepared for another run. A good chance to practice back button focusing on this unanticipated moving target! It wasn't an airshow but it felt like one for a few minutes.

As I began to work with this image, it struck me that it looks like a feather duster! Thus the name I've given it.
if it's Saturday, then it's Cliche Saturday! Gerbera Daisy - cliche! Cinema crop - cliche! Black framing - cliche! House work - OH So Cliche!!! ;-)
(Please Note - none of these cliches are in and of themselves bad, they are and can be quite nice. Yet, we do see quite a few of them in flickrville. And I employ them often myself!)
Happy Cliche Saturday!
I am not much of a car lover but with my first LUG bulk I got these half circle window decorations (or whatever they are :D), so I wanted to use them somehow. This is the result.
Plymouth Duster show car, restored and finished in a nice strong lime green color, not many around now, found in North Carolina.
Hey! You're going the wrong way! And I'm guessing your breaking that 25 mph suggested speed limit... :0)
On a lazy summer day, we took a drive down to Rehoboth and on the way, we spied this crop duster treating the fields. Pulled over and just happened to catch the tail end just as the pilot began to dust the field. I'm right next to a building and out of harms way, but I'm guessing that house in the back had no issues with bugs <a href=http://www.lancerogersphotos.com>Website</a>

This feather dropped from my duster. I liked the movement and thought I'd try a soft abstract.

I am not a big fan of plane photos but, I could not pass up the chance to snag a few images of this crop duster in action yesterday. However, I do admire their flying skills.
