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.
Luna and Lenovo. Something about the way she was sitting on the keyboard was causing the desktop icons to cycle through their various sizes and re-arrange themselves. I should have taken a movie.
Thanks for all the Talk my friends :))))
I will leave you with a couple of friends I met this afternoon :)))
Have a great weekend all of you out there in flickr land :)))))
Double-heading BR(W) Manors. Collett design 4-6-0 no.7822 ‘Foxcote Manor’ leads no.7820 ‘Dinmore Manor’ past the fisherman’s crossing, Tyt’n-y-celyn (west of Garth-y-dwr) with the 09:20 “Festiniog Railway Society AGM Special” to Corwen East.
Note: it may look as though this shot was taken line side, but in fact it isn’t, as the path moves nearer the track at this point.

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.

"there's a ghost in my lungs and it sighs in my sleep,
wraps itself around my chest, as it softly weeps."
i love how music, videography, cinematography all inspires, how it fits together, how each piece connects to each, as if bit is a colour that makes the final canvas, and that canvas wouldn't be right without them all. the world would be such a bleak place.
i need to up my game, i need to get better, i need to push myself; i'm flagging.

I couldn’t decide between these two edits. I look so sad here, but I liked my makeup a lot. I guess it’s ok to wear this emotion on my sleeve sometimes.
