...and the tractors

Verlon is a family friend who loves his tractors and shows them off during multiple parades on the Fourth. Who knew Uncle Sam drove a tractor? I would have preferred not to have the post and wires in the background, but compression from the lens (about 170mm) Minimizes it a little bit, so I can live with it. Besides, he looks happy to have his picture taken, right?

Verlon's tractor was decorated with red, white and blue. I love the snappy colors and the contrast between them. I used a polarizer to control some of the glare off the shiny paint.

An old John Deere caught my eye, again because of the bold color contrast between the flags and the tractor in the background.
