It was a very hot and humid day when I took this photo. It is a picture of young lady raking hay. She is dressed in black, and wearing a dress. The mules look tired. Also look at the tires on the hay rake. The tires are made from heavy metal maybe iron. That has to make pulling the rake in harder. Amish don't believe in rubber tires. Why I don't know but I was told that by a farmer
Amish Farm

On the farms where I grew up, corn was allowed to turn brown, and then the hardened cobs were harvested to be stored until they were ground for animal feed. The stalks were left in a broken mess close to the ground, and were later plowed under. The Amish repurpose the stalks, mowing them and then baling them for straw. A lot of brownish-orange dust is created. Here a team is raking the straw for later baling, and the dust mixes with the sunset to create a study in orange.

Longmont, Colorado. It's hay harvest time and these things are used to accumulate hay into rows (windrows) so that it can be baled by another machine.
Reminds me of Spinning Wheel by Blood, Sweat, and Tears:
"What goes up must come down
Spinnin' wheel got to go 'round
Talkin' 'bout your troubles it's a cryin' sin
Ride a painted pony let the spinnin' wheel spin
You got no money and you got no home
Spinnin' wheel all alone
Talkin' 'bout your troubles and you, you never learn
Ride a painted pony let the spinnin' wheel turn
Did you find the directing sign on the
Straight and narrow highway
Would you mind a reflecting sign
Just let it shine within your mind
And show you the colors that are real
Someone is waiting just for you
Spinnin' wheel,…"

This is one of the employees of the Royalton Resort in Punta Cana, raking the beach sand. Infinite job security here because the rising tide and sunbathers will constantly disturb the sand. But he has a very different feeling toward "a day at the beach."

SSR train 4847N with C509, 1202 & RL302 haul the blue rake through a hazy Wentworthville on the long way to Nyngan to load grain. This train originated from Carrington and made the detour via Sydney due to maintenance works in the Hunter Valley causing a three day shutdown.
The last half hour of daylight finds the sun finally angling below the ripply November clouds. Enough light shines on the nose of UP 7639, one of a trio of locomotive waiting for their train to get filled at the Landus Cooperative in Rake, Iowa along the UP Rake Subdivision. The foreground switcher is FARX 135, an EMD SW1200 formerly working for the Denver, Rio Grande & Western. I should mention that Rake is only a mile from the Minnesota/Iowa border.
Cartoon Rake... but really lame... I'll make it even more cartoony in a bit
I was forced to add the lines... but it was actually quite helpful.

by the cracked tree, river's light, 9-29-18
cracked tree lies horizontally now,
raking water flow,
stones rake river's light
leaves stay by stone for a while.
Taken in Hollywood, Florida. Read the inscription on the hood. Looks like someone celebrated their retirement.
