A photo of what looks to be an old hay wagon,
taken on one of my recent barn searches in rural Washington County, Nebraska.
(PS - my husband just informed me it's a manure spreader.)

On another tangent -- I was looking for some buttons to put on my blog to alert people that they may link my content to Pinterest.
Not finding any, I made a couple of my own, shown below.
Feel free to grab one or two for your own use, if you please.

ReplyDeleteHi Nancy, Linking to your Sunday party for the first time. I like to think of your picture as a wagon! Thanks for hosting, Laura
ReplyDeleteStinky I'm sure but cool looking.
ReplyDeleteVery nice picture!
ReplyDeleterustic as the ancient farming equipment was; there was a day's good exercise in the making and the job still got done!
ReplyDeleteLove your hay wagon / manure spreader. That photo makes me want to know more about it...like it has a story to tell. Fabulous photo!! :)
ReplyDeleteWhatever it is....it is a great example of rural decay. Excellent capture.
ReplyDeletei liked it better when i thought it was a wagon ;))))
ReplyDeleteLife is not all sunshine and lollipops, Debbie! Sometimes, manure must be spread! Lol.
DeleteTerrific and different shadow shot for the day! I love the old hay wagon! Hope you're having a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteSylvia
That's a cool looking piece of farm equipment (regardless of what it's used for!).
ReplyDeleteI would have to agree with Sonya, nice texture too.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo!
ReplyDeleteIt is old, but still beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGreat processing; love the yellows, pale greens and browns.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fascinating piece of equipment! A manure spreader, you say? Interesting!
ReplyDeleteA great photo and love that it's a manure spreader. I know many people who also spread manure...but it's their own...LOL!
ReplyDeleteThat was interesting! Happy St. Pat's day. sandie
ReplyDeleteGreat picture I love old barns and wagons ! Have a great rest of the weekend
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to your husband for correctly identifying the manure spreader! :)

Yes, an old manure spreader! Believe it or not, one of those played a crucial role in my life: I was about 5 years old, playing on the dairy farm where my father leased for his milk cows (he also taught high school). We found a litter of new kittens and after I cuddled and petted them, my eyes formed what seemed to be blisters, scaring the heck out of me and all the adults. It was the start of a severe lifelong allergy to cats, which soon developed into awful asthma. Funny how I always connect that to the manure spreader (that one was all metal, though). I like how you've included the surrounding area in the scene. I tend to crop too tightly much of the time.
ReplyDeleteIt is a bit intimidating to link my post up with such amazing photographers. I have much to learn, but how else will I do it, right? :)
ReplyDeleteManure spreader, huh? Who knew? I think it just looks neat out there...kinda' forgotten.
ReplyDeleteGreat find. Those old farm implements make great photograpic subjects.
ReplyDeleteLove that hay wagon, even if its a manure spreader lol. I'm not up to doing textures yet but I will get there.
ReplyDeleteCome join me in Foto Friday where the theme is open and link your blog

What a wonderful photo. Growing up in a city the only manure I spread was from a bag on to our front lawn.. Still sticky!!
ReplyDeleteLove your pinterest pins!!
Hugs, Linda
Seriously, a manure spreader? Too funny. Great shot and processing.
ReplyDeleteIs that just lying middle of somewhere, to me it looks like something which belongs to museum of agriculture.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely Sunday
Reading all these comments from folks who've never seen a manure spreader cracks me up. Didn't everyone grow up on a farm???
ReplyDeleteGreat shot, Nancy. Love old farm equipment out standing in a field.
Sometimes there's no delicate way of saying, well, you know ... lol! Love the shot... I commented over on G+ too... I see you have a 'Dog Days,' page there... send me and email and tell me how to share a shot with your page, I haven't done that before have you?
ReplyDeletelovely rustic colours in this picture...
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool piece of old farm equipment!
ReplyDeleteI have just spent the most wonderful time hopping through the links, meeting new folks, and seeing some beautiful images. Thanks, Nancy!!
ReplyDeleteLove the texture, it's perfect, blends in well with spreader!
ReplyDeleteMmmmm well. Each and every day things do get more complicated, including blogs. I'll mudddle through though and with your husband I recognized the spiky thing on the back of the wagon as the key part of the manure spreading process....
ReplyDeleteI love this!
ReplyDeleteAwesome Nancy it is a manure spreader. I love the way you presented it. Awesome. B
ReplyDeleteI love its golden light. Beautiful!
ReplyDeletei love the golden tones in this!
ReplyDeleteSure is the prettiest manure spreader I've ever seen!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful golden tones in this Nancy!
Happy Sunday to you!
It's wonderful edit, Nancy!
ReplyDeletelove your buttons! you are so crafty! what are you doing in Nebraska??
ReplyDeleteLoving the life, T. :)
DeleteLove those old wagons- usually can't find them intact anymore. I'm going to borrow your pin button- thanks!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy, my dear....
Deleteterrific shot! very nicely done, nancy!
ReplyDeletexo
Cool photos. Love all that antique-y character! And great buttons too ;)
ReplyDeleteoh, looks like just my grandpa's did. brings back memories of all that shit flying off the back end! ha!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot! I know people who still use manure spreaders, especially on horse farms. Great way to make use of the manure and keep it from piling up.
ReplyDeletewhatever the wagon is used for, it is a beautiful image!
ReplyDeleteWow, what an antique!
ReplyDeleteWhat a treasure!!! I also like that you made Pinterest buttons. I have been thinking about doing the same since I have become so much more cautious about what I pin & repin.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully captured. Thank you for your beautiful contribution to Shadow Shot Sunday 2.
ReplyDeleteFinding Beauty in a shadow. Have a blessed Sunday.

I was going to tell you it was a manure spreader before I read that you already knew. We have one just slightly newer here...
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find!
ReplyDeleteI'd call it a wagon, but then I'm kinda into wagons. Manure spreader is ok, too. Either way, it's cool. Love that aged look.
ReplyDeleteWe would have been just fine with hay wagon : ) Tell your husband to get his own blog lol
ReplyDeleteI would love to have the in my yard.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it's already the eighth installment!
ReplyDeleteYou are So clever, Nancy; can't imagine making a button and yours is well done.
ReplyDeleteThe photo links are beautiful and trust a man to know s^^t. - LOL -
Happy Sunday Nancy! Even a manure spreader looks Fab when YOU photo it!
ReplyDeleteHey, You are the winner of my giveaway! Please stop over and take a look (I need you to email me your address please)!
Have a great week! and Congratulations!

I love the photo. When we sold all the cattle a few years ago we then sold three of these. We had so many cows , calve, Bulls and showed them right down into the states . Won big in Denver one year. I miss them so very much. Half of my hard drive is full of cattle photos. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great night.
Love that manure spreader! I had a little boy in Sunday School that all he wanted was a toy manure spreader for Christmas this year. I think his idea was different than this version though.

ReplyDeleteI love how industrious you are. You made your own buttons :-)
ReplyDeleteSo long as I'm not on the wrong end of that, I like your manure spredder ;-)!
Great shot Nancy. You know the one thing I like about America is, It's so big, you can still find things left over from bygone days and intact...something you rarely see over here!
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
This is awesome, I love it and your farm shot above too.
ReplyDeleteLovely photo Nancy! The texture is stunning. Thank you for sharing and for hosting this link up!
ReplyDeleteStill love this shot! Please forgive me my tardiness in visiting your entry in ‘Weekly Top Shot,’ I have been rather under the weather the past few days, although still working. I'm so glad you decided to join us and share at 'Weekly Top Shot.' :-) I hope you'll come share again next week...
