Hay Bales at the ZU Ranch, Midvale, Idaho
Beautiful. I always enjoyed seeing the random rolls of hay scattered on WT's parent's farm in Kansas. There's something very quite and comforting about it.
ReplyDeleteHi Willow: Thanks! There is something very compelling in the designs created by hay bales, whether they're stacked or lying in fields.
ReplyDeleteSomeone has been very busy! I love seeing hay bales scattered about the countryside. Saw some beautiful ones when we went through West Virginia & Virginia and we have some nice views here in Texas too.
ReplyDeleteHi Lizzy: Yes, the ZU Ranch folks are hard workers! This is definitely the haying season.
ReplyDeleteWe had to stack square, small bales on a hayrack and there was a special way it had to be done so it wouldn't rock off. I like how they projected the hay up out of the wet ground, when it rains and the rest acts like a shed roof to run off the water. It is a great photo.
ReplyDeleteHi LD: Now that's a comment from someone who knows a bit about hay! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteWow!! Looks really classy, John!! I like. A LOT!!
ReplyDeleteNice photo - makes me think of a sofa for Gulliver! I like the red accent of the tractor to punch it up a bit too.

I can just about remember when they used to collect hay in oblong bales rather than rolls. All it wanted was an original thought to make life much easier.
ReplyDeleteHi Willow, Kat & Alan: Sorry to be so late in responding--very busy time!
ReplyDeleteWillow: Thanks a lot--so far the response to the new look has been positive.
Kat: I love the Gulliver sofa--yes, that is a massive pile of hay.
Alan: We still get some of the oblong bales around here--both large ones & the smaller ones you actually can move by hand. These require some real heavy equipment!
