Making Hay While The Sun Shines

Can't believe I'm running late again with this week's Sunday Challenge, but I am!

Still, at least I'm posting it on Sunday albeit late in the evening, but it'll be tomorrow now before I get a chance to look at everyone else's work.

Anyway, for those that don't know the theme this week was simply things that go together.

So I've gone for blue skies and straw wheels because at this time of year you can be certain where ever the sun shines you'll find them and I just love them!

I will look forward to them Paul. Growing up with horses I developed a real love for hay. I love the smell and the different ways it is baled. Here's one of mine to share with you:

Thanks Esther. I was hoping for more blue sky, but I actually think now it works quite well with the white clouds.

Great photo Paul! Love the clouds! Much easier to load straw this way! :-)

autofantasia ^club has replied to Indycaver (Norm) ^club

Cheers Norm, glad you like it. I have to say though that Adrian is spot on, bales were so much more fun to play with as a kid, I mean what could you do with one of these apart from try to roll it down the hill? ;)

Indycaver (Norm) ^club has replied to autofantasia ^club

My memories of them as a kid was the hot dirty work stacking them on the wagons and then stacking them again up in the loft of the hot barn or loafing shed. I did prefer doing straw to hay though. Straw was much lighter bales! I'm not sure you could roll one of these without some serious mass behind you! :-)

Great title, Paul :-) And, thanks for commenting upon my 'straw bales' shot. I think next year, if I remember, I will be a bit more organised around harvesting time :-) Your shot is very well composed and the low viewpoint works great. A fave shot for me.
