Old Lone Tree

Supermoon approaching. Day before spring equinox.

Another day ending in another sunset

Mother Nature curve meets farmer made curves

Autumn approaching

A wheel in the sky

Old lone tree got to see mighty sights today.

Familiar shapes

Preparations for next harvest

For old lone tree life goes on

The mound is a near perfect circle

seen from the air on maps. It would be fun to shoot it with a drone.

Rounds

Bales neatly gathered.

Today actually saw a couple of downpours and thunder.

Re-arranging the straw.

The wind caused extra work. Life is not always easy on farmers.

The clouds were dancing for old lone tree.

Bloom under the moon

White bloom

Making dust

Dry again.

Back bending work

Still some picking stones by hand being done, although truth be told this is likely better for the back than sitting in a tractor 16 hours straight, or more.

Hand picked stones

Fast moving sowing

Winter clouds

The fields

have gone white again.

Winter farm fields

Sugarbeet delivery

Beets going to become sugar. They'll probably not be done until after New Year so the truckers and folks at the sugar beet factory will work every day through New Year, just like they did through Christmas. No shutting down the factory until all the sugar is all done. Old lone tree has been probably been around long enough to have seen beets loaded by hand, this self walking loader/cleanser is really something.

Some odd cloud day.

Shapes drawn in the sky

This afternoon

Rain breaking off for a prettier sight
