I was out driving one day, searching for something, like I always do and my mom called me and asked me if I saw that area of lovely orange flowers by the auto sale place. I knew the one she was talking about, so I went over there and I couldn't believe that I had missed these when I was out that was a couple days before. They are absolutely lovely flowers when there are so many bunched together, and then when you take a closer look you see they have a lot of depth in their colors.
When I drive around looking for wonderful things to capture, I sometimes forget that not everyone has seen the things that I see every day. Old beat-up cars, falling over barns or even old tractors that are still in use because they still run and aren't broken. I guess that is what makes a good tractor. As long as it runs and does what it is suppose to do there is no need to replace it.
I love finding older things when I am out exploring. This was a beautiful find, that I would have missed if I wasn't looking. At first glance it didn't look like it was still in use, but after looking at this picture for a few moments I can see that the blades on the back and the exhaust are new, so it is still in use. I guess there are some pieces of equipment that just need to have parts replaced now and then to keep them running for a long time.
