Picture of the Day for July 14, 2012

The work never ends for farmers and ranchers. It is a tough job since the livestock don’t recognize holidays and they need to be fed in blizzards and storms. There is always the gamble on the weather, whether or not the crops they planted will mature and be plentiful enough to make it to the next year.

Right now the oats are being harvested and hay is being baled. And the day continues well past sunset like this rancher moving his big round hay bales off the field so the new crop of hay can grow.

I take a lot of sunset pictures but this one was a hard shot to get since I was on the road when I spotted the tractor on the hill and for some reason it didn’t stop when I hollered whoa so the first shot had a tree through the tractor and this was the second shot and there were no more shots to take as it disappeared off the hill.

Picture of the Day for June 30, 2012

Welcome to SeS Photo’s Picture of the Day.

This is actually the start of volume three of the picture of the day and I hope you enjoy the pictures. Many of the pictures which appear here in the picture of the day will be available in different size prints, note cards and gallery canvas wraps.

I enjoy taking nature and scenery pictures and I tend to take a lot of sunsets so I figured a sunset picture would be a good photo to start this volume. I had taken a grass picture during a sunset on my old camera years ago and I have been waiting for the conditions to replicate again so I could take one on a higher resolution camera but so far I haven’t matched the original old photograph and this image is the closest that I have achieved to the other image.
