Farming in Broad Brook, CT

Farming in Broad Brook, CT

After posting last night's shot of this tractor, my son let me know that this was not actually Bolton, CT. Since he was the one driving, and I was doing the shooting, I hadn't been paying attention to where we actually were. We were in Broad Brook, CT on East St. My apologies for any confusion and for my error.

As you can see by the dust this farmer is kicking up, he was going at a pretty good clip. I'm not sure what he's doing, but maybe one of my readers can tell me.

Farming in Bolton CT

Hard at Work

While on vacation, my son, Joe, and I also took a road trip around Bolton, CT. I saw this farmer working and panned just a little to be able to catch this shot. He was driving pretty fast. It was getting a little late in the day, and I guess he just wanted to get done.

I must admit, I know absolutely nothing about farming; even though I come from a long line of farmers from my grandparents generation and back. The only farm machine I know is the tractor, so as far as what this guy is doing, I have no idea. I do know, however that they work very hard and their day starts really early.

I'll be posting more farming photos in later posts. Maybe one of you readers can enlighten me.

Barn in Scranton, Pa

First, I must apologize if my blogs are a bit behind during my vacation. At present, I'm on a whirlwind driving tour. I only have a week off, so I'm driving from Florida to Oswego, NY on Lake Ontario, then on to Vernon, CT and back to St Petersburg, FL.

I spotted this barn while my grandson was driving through Scranton, PA. I had been sleeping and I spotted this just as I woke up. I had to shoot it! The only lens on my camera was my 55-250mm and I shot this from the other side of the highway.

I love to shoot barns, but since I live in the city, about the only chance I get to shoot them is when I'm traveling. That's one of the reasons I love to travel by car. Usually I'm alone and I was lucky enough to have my grandson on this trip with me. He'll be staying in NY for a while, so I'll be driving home alone. I'll sure miss the luxury of having an extra driver.

Because of the travel, my internet connectivity will be somewhat spotty at times. I'll be blogging daily after I get home.
