Many people round here tolerate the deer spending all day on their front lawn. Mind they do seem to keep the grass nice and tidy. Fuck all flowers and shrubs left though
These guys have started showing up in our grass where the afternoon sun hits. About the size of a US Dime and normally dark brown. This was a 20 image stack.
Sorry for the quick repost, I forgot my EXIF data
I am pretty sure you don't want to hang around that thing. The trouble these guys get into.
Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday
. . . actually, our riding mower in the garden shed, but the shadows were just right to give it a fearsome look, so it was easy enough to paint on teeth. . .
This 2008 photo is another in my series of older ranch shots in the Bear Lake Valley, Idaho. Daryl Woolstenhulme runs his own ranch with draft horses and often gets requests from other ranches to mow their fields the old way. This time he was mowing in Montpelier, Idaho.
I tried to mow the front lawn with it this morning, but there are just too many roots and bumps. Sometimes the old ways aren't the best option.
I may try it in the backyard next time. It looked nice against this tree, anyway.
I think I may have started my walk too late.
Full disclosure - it's possible that I have "adjusted" the sky just a teeny, tiny, little bit in post. ;-) But it still looked pretty scary.

Panaeolina foenisecii or Himeshibafujitake in Japanese.
This mushroom is commonly found in lawn, and called the mower's mushroom, haymaker or brown hay mushroom. I am not sure if it is tasty or not, but the worm‐eaten holes on the tiny pileus indicate that there must be small lovers of this fungus.

Mower and I are allies. We use our combined strength to fight "Lawn - stealer of spare time and weekends " Lawns might is tenfold. We smite Lawn down, we think we've won, yet lawn continues to rise. I grow weary, but the fight must go on.
When I first moved to the Bear Lake Valley there were several people who farmed with teams of horses. Now there are just a couple. Some people who had a field to mow or plow would hire horses just for the pleasure of seeing the work done the old way. That was the case in this photo taken in Montpelier, Idaho in 2004. Since then the driver on the left has passed away and the one on the right has left the area. I see photos of old sickle-bar mowers fairly often on Flickr, so now you have seen them in action. This was scanned from an old slide to create a digital image.
“We must not hope to be mowers,
And to gather the ripe gold ears,
Unless we have first been sowers
And water the furrows with tears.
It is not just as we take it,
This mystical world of ours,
Life’s field will yield as we make it A harvest of thorns or of flowers.”
~ Goethe
The lawn got a bit out of control this summer. We had a very busy month before we left for two weeks in Europe, and by the time we got back it was too long for our handy little push mower to do anything other than mash it down like a bad comb-over.
So I went to Lowe's and bought a power mower. And assembled it. And it started on the first pull, and the earth shook, sparks flew, horrifically loud scraping metal sounds ... the engine was mounted incorrectly (that bit of handywork straight from the factory), and the new lawn mower was DOA.
So I brought it back to Lowe's. They said they'd replace it, but I had to remove the gasoline.
So I bought a gas can and a funnel (rather than drive all the way home and back), went out to the corner of the parking lot, and got in a good lawn-mower-lifting workout, holding it up in the air and twisting it around to try to drain the gas into the funnel. Most of the gas wound up on the pavement, or me; the day-labor guys sitting under the trees along Rainier Avenue had a good laugh. Then I went back into Lowe's, waited in line (again), returned it, got a new one, brought it home, assembled it (much more quickly the second time), and ... finally ... mowed the damn lawn.
Having rented for a few years before we bought our house last year, I had completely forgotten how much fun it is to have a yard. Next project: trimming the hedges.
Not fast and doesn't do the best job but, boy is he quiet.
Rabbit, Rondeau Provincial Park, July 6, 2022.
This family, whom I met when I took the photo, bought Como Mower Sales & Service after its former owner, Jerry Devine the Woodcarver, retired to Tennessee. Let's hear it for the great state of Tennessee with its folk art traditions!
Running light in the yard at Cass, WV, the former Mower Lumber Co. Shay #4 heads toward the shop complex as she works to assemble a log train for a November 2025 photo shoot at the Cass Scenic Railroad State Park. The Shays at Cass virtually never disappoint photographers with their inkly black smoke plumes and waterfalls of steam from their three vertically mounted cylinders.
