The hay is baled and the cotton is almost ready for harvest. The temperatures are finally cooling down and the humidity is but a fraction of what it used to be. Life is good.
Nice shot- every time I see cotton I think of movies where people pick it and their hands ended up being bloody and sore. I know that doesn't happen with modern harvesting equipment but I still think of it!

Your photo really captures autumn in the South with the cotton and hay bales. I agree that it's great to have cooler temps and lower humidity. It feels great!
@randystreat Thanks Kathy. I thought it a bit unusual to be able to get both crops in the same frame @eudora I am so glad you thik so Diane and I know you are right there with me about the temps especially since you spend a lot of time outside taking photos @mcsiegle I am really glad to hear that Mary. It affirms my decision to use this photo instead ot one showing only the cotton
