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.
Now some pictures from the zoo in Bern, more than two years after the last time. Here just two puffins...
While not the greatest shot I've ever taken, it wasn't that often that two trains appeared outside CP Mastadon at the same time.
Anyway, a CP empty ethanol launched out of Bensenville on the Elgin Subdivision with CSX and ICE power as a northbound UP oil empty with CN power was heading out of Proviso yard.

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.

Bindweed is a plant of the morning glory family that produces handsome white, pink, or blue funnel-shaped flowers1. The bindweed vines will grow leaves, which are shaped much like an arrowhead, before growing flowers2. Bindweed flowers are trumpet-shaped and will be either white or pink234. Hedge bindweed has large leaves and big white trumpet-shaped flowers in summer, while field bindweed is similar but smaller, with flowers that are either white or pink4.

I was trying to take a shot at this train passing by in front of me when all the sudden this cyclist dashed into my frame. I was glad he did.

They are old but they are still beautiful. And they are *together*. They remind me of "The Notebook" - the movie.
These two young Mallard Ducklings appear to have virtually reared themselves on the Bridgewater Canal. I did see Mum with three and then just three and now only two, but the survivors seem to be thriving and looking out for each other.
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.

A trip to the coast again today. Amazed at how quiet it was even although it was quite a nice day.
A possible contender for the light/shade challenge this month.
