When clearing a heavy snowfall, sometimes it is hard to figure out where the driveway is so today I could actually see some lawn after the melting yesterday since I cleared some snow off the lawn instead of the driveway. But the lawn is brown and no green showing. Sometimes it is even hard to find green on a old rusty tractor and you have to search to find it.
Finding the Green
The only color one can see today will be the man toys clearing the snow as even the pine trees are white. But since I don’t have a ‘big boy toy’ to clear my driveway and there is a lot more snow to remove than what is in this picture, the green color of my little toy will be white with the wind blowing the snow and since I have no cozy cab on my snow-blower I will be white too!
More White
While there are no yellow flowers in the winter time, there are other things besides the sun that are yellow and orange which pop out from the white snow, even if they might be old and rusty.
Yellow and Orange
It appears this old tractor is heading off into the sunset or maybe it just wants to be in the warmer southwest states but it doesn’t look like it is getting there very fast.
Sunset Heading Tractor
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.
