Making Hay

Orchards, vineyards, and hay bales. Those are just three of the things that fascinate me. I’m not sure why - they just do.

The other morning I was flying down the interstate at about 75 MPH and glanced off to the right and saw these hay bales. I got off at the next exit and backtracked down the frontage road just to get a picture of them.

When Char and I were on vacation at Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park I had to stop and take a picture of hay bales outside of Tropic, Utah. All those natural wonders and I’m on the side of the road taking a picture of hay.

But, this is one of my favorites. It was outside a fruit stand in Palisade. It stood about twenty-five feet tall.

Most likely constructed by someone else who is fascinated with hay bales.

I like hay bales better since they started making them too big to throw by hand.

Where's her boyfriend? She shouldn't have to alone in this world.
Yes, I like vineyards too...especially what comes out of them.

Ralph,
You just need to come out to Indiana during the wheat harvest. We'll put you to work on the hay wagon. I can guarantee you'll get over your fascination with bales of straw (or hay).
