Around the farm on Thursday

Hale and I went to the farm last Thursday. I went in search of "textures" for this week's photo challenge. Hale was hoping for an adventure with his dad. Fortunately, we both got what we wanted.

Field work is just getting started for the year, which means more opportunities to send Hale with Landon in the tractor. Hale got to make a few manure-hauling trips with his dad while I took some pictures around the farm. Hale is much more interested in the tractor now that he is a little older. For the most part he sits nicely and is very observant. Landon's only difficulty is convincing Hale that he is not the one who gets to run the steering wheel.

I tried to take a picture of the two of us in the rear-view mirror...but like I said, Hale was too busy watching his dad.



I was trying to capture the "fuzzy" texture of a baby calf. I came away more with a slimy texture, though, because they kept licking my camera.
