A Peek into Harvesting

I'm always looking for creative ways to capture the pictures I see. Tonight I took dinner out to my hunk of a husband who was running the second combine (finally...the poor guy has been working hard all week to get it running). He was harvesting Camelina, it's a grain that is most often made into an oil. (Please, don't ask me any more questions about it, I'll tell you more once I've done the research.) Jamie's boss had mentioned that it might be a good idea to go and get pictures of him combining for possible web use. So armed with my camera and some food, I found my way out to the field (I'll be honest, I got some much needed directions from one of the guys). After Jamie polished off his plate of food, it was time to get back at it again. And here are the images I saw as I stood by watching my hunk of a husband work...
Through a hole in the trailer...the hole is about the size of a nickel.... ...through the engine of a tractor... ...through a crack in the trailer....
...through the wooden slats of the trailer...

...and this was the image I saw in my mirror as I drove away.

I hope you've enjoyed this little "peek" into harvesting here at the ranch.
