Victor the slightly impatient tractor

Does everyone look at headlights and see them as eyes and then make snap (probably unfair) judgements about a vehicle’s character and trustworthiness based on their expression? Or is this habit unique to people who saw Herbie Goes Bananas at an impressionable age?

Tomatillo (not a sunset)

As a proud member of Texas’ large Mexican-American population, I think it’s very important that I be true to myself and never pretend to be something that I’m not.

That’s why I must admit freely that I don’t have a clue what you use tomatillos for. Pico de gallo maybe? Look I’m proud of my heritage and all, but I also order pizza a lot.

Sunset post #3: In which Tiffany suffers for her art

Q1. Do you know what a chigger is?
Q2. Do you know where they live?
Q3. Do you know why they suck more ass than a gang of ass-sucking ass-suckers at an ass-sucking contest?

A1. A chigger is a microscopic little red bug that keeps biting you for days after it crawls up your pants leg and starts biting you.
A2. They live in fields and ditches right near places where you might be stupid enough to stop and stand and take pictures.
A3. It itches. Oh my lord, it itches.

These photos are almost untouched. The top one I desaturated a little (because sometimes nature looks fake), and the bottom one I just converted to B&W and adjusted the curves. I was far too busy applying anti-itch balm to worry about editing.

Sunset post #2: Plowing right before dark

You should have seen it.
Rabbits and mice were running across the road to get away from the rotating blades cutting through the field.

In the bottom photo you can see the black exhaust hanging over the road, and the red sun just through the trees. I chose the top two because the clouds seemed to add to the motion of the big machine. To me.

I’ve got two or three more days worth of sky pictures. Then I promise I’ll get bored and post pictures of I dunno… shoes or something.

OMG it itches

It itches and itches and itches and it won’t stop itching!

I hate chiggers so much more than you do.
