An old dump rake at my brother's farm near Roggen, Colorado. This a rear view of the rake. I only had the privilege riding on a rake like this one time. It was quite a challenge to dump it at the correct time to get that windrow straight.
Raked the lawn yesteday to collect up the cherry tree leaves covering it. Needless to say, most of the lawn is yet again covered with more leaves!!
A oldie but a favourite of mine. The Rakes allowed me to photograph this lovely room in their house...set up for kero light just in case the electricity failed. Early 1960's I reckon.
Technical: Nikomat, Nikkor 35mm, Developing/printing uncertain...sepia tone.
I was looking through a box of photos in search of something else, when I found these, long thought lost, as I've been looking for them in various places for a few years. They are photos of a Blue-tongued Skink, a lizard native to the Australian Outback. Here's the story:
This happened in November, 2003. I was raking leaves at our previous home in Fairfax County, VA and came to the side of the house, where a whole bunch of leaves had piled up against the house. I dug my rake in and when I pulled back this critter appeared. At first I could only see its head and I assumed it was a VERY large exotic snake. I called my neighbor, Don Lemon over for a look and then pulled back a few more leaves and I could see the front feet. Then I uncovered the whole thing and had no idea what we had. It was about 18-20" long. Since it was cool outdoors, reptiles become almost dormant. So I got a wooden box and had a mesh screen that I fashioned for a top. In the meantime Don's wife, Jill got her camera and got these photos. Still not knowing what it was, I took it to several pet stores, but none knew what it was. I finally went to the Alexandria Animal Shelter. They put it in an enclosure with a heat lamp and it became very active. They did a little research and ID-ed it as a Blue-tongued Skink (it even showed them its blue tongue). They surmised that it had been someone's pet that either escaped or was released. Either way, it was quite a back yard adventure.
