Great eye! Love the color of rust against the autumn backdrop.

That sucker is battered and beaten, but it still keeps working. Perhaps this is a metaphor for everyone that gets up each day and slogs through it. :)

Great shot. My brother-in-law finally replaced his with one fabricated out of 3/16ths inch stainless steel. The shovels, rocks, etc. bounce off now.

I’m catching up on your photos, Bo. Love love love this one. Also, there is something about it, parts of it so crisp and detailed, others slightly fuzzy, that make me especially fond of it. This one and the captured leaf in the grains of wheat? or grass?

Good title on this one. Definitely wouldn’t want to be fodder for bored teens and everyone else. 8)

This poor thing looks so forgotten. Wouldn’t you love to know its story?
