Tractor and Hay Rake

Tractor and hay rake

This Massey Ferguson tractor has been well driven, and hay rake is rusty, but in capable hands, they did a creditable job of haying.  The hay rake has both a PTO drive and a ground drive;  the ground drive was used when raking these hay fields.

Another "66" or "bb" cover can be seen here.

The lines in this 3d relaxed view stereogram seem to converge on the aloe vera plant.
 

AC Drain (Part 2)

Ingrown drain

A plant grows out of a drain located in the sidewalk.  This drain was without plant a year ago.

One year later, with the sidewalk was updated, the charm of this drain is in vain.

Lines of Light

Reflected sunlight on a roll down security gate creates a pattern of light and dark.
