'Merica by fiveplustwo

'Merica

@kuva I wasn't quite sure what to do for this theme, but I settled on a scene akin to a typical good o'l country song.

Something like...

safety boots?

@bobfoto Haha. Safety first! I was wearing my leather work boots when I drove the tractor to that spot, but bare feet seemed more in character for the photo.

@ludgate - Its a great photo which captures the imagery that I think of when one says 'Merica.

I like the lyrics and the song too! A banjo is just what you need sitting on a lawn mower! Like the farmyard look!

Pure Redneckery!!! ;)

I love it! As @graemestevens says - Red Neck all the way! Got your gun, John Deere tractor, levi pants, banjo, ball cap, log cabin, coke...now all you need is to be pregnant!

@bobfoto Thank you very much, Jason. :)
@kerosene Hehe. Thanks.
@maggiemae Thank you. I discovered that song last night, and it was great inspiration for the shot.
@graemestevens You might be a redneck if... http://www.lilligren.com/Redneck/300_reasons_redneck.htm
Personally, I think I'm treading the fine line between good o'l country folk and redneck.
@mikegifford Hahaha. I think I'll do my best to avoid that for the time being. Next time I'll put a pillow in my shirt.
@hjbenson Thank you Harry. That's what I was going for. ;)
@kali66 I do. No use owning a gun if you don't know how to fire it, I suppose.
@epcello Thanks Erika!

Having now heard that song for the first time (and loving it!) I'd say you put together perfect American imagery (and title!) for the photo shoot! While it's only one aspect of American life, you pieced it together to perfection!

@Weezilou Thank you. It's true, it's just a small aspect of American life. I tried to think of a way to sum up all the aspects of America /American Pride into one image, but I'm not sure it can be done.
