A grand day out. by happypat

A grand day out.

Harry took these photos at the tractor pulling today.
I did not spend my day listening to roar of these engines although I could hear it in the distance.

A good day was had by all!!

Three good things:
1. All washing washed & dried outside.
2. A sitting in the sun afternoon.
3. A visit from my niece this morning with some freshly made anzac biscuits.
You mean you missed it?! Can't imagine why! It was such a dreadful morning that I sort of missed the fact that it was a sitting out afternoon!

I think it would probably be appropriate to say that Harry isn't quite as adept as you at photography but its a good attempt for an amateur:) and a good camera too but you didn't let him use your canon then?

@judithg Yes I missed it LOL ! Lots of beds to change & it was the last place I wanted to go! You have had rain...poor things, lovely day here!!

@barrowlane He he no way...he is improving his technique though he actually moved round to the other side as the light was better. He bought this camera last December for NZ & likes it ...so do I, it has a great zoom.

@happypat Yes I have one. It is a great camera not only a great zoom you can get so close to subjects and it will still focus. And another thing you can adjust setting on it which give you control over the photos you are taking.

@happypat Quite hot this afternoon but so wet this morning it didn't seem right!

I'm sure those who attended would have loved it but I'd probably have kept you company! You'll have Harry on 365 yet!!!

Goodness I don't blame you, smoke/fumes and noise, not for me either!
August 25th, 2013  
What's all the black smoke - from tractors' exhausts or chimneys? You would need masks! Seems to be very popular judging by all the people there! I think its a good photo - and good entertainment!

Now THAT is a tractor. Love that the little fellow is wearing hearing protectors!!!
August 26th, 2013  
It's a big event, but I personally do not see myself sitting there watching and hearing all that noise
August 26th, 2013  
Great shot. Sounds like a great event to take in

Bed changing vs tractor pulling? Hmm, tricky choice! I think I may have just made a cup of tea and hope that the bed changing fairy would come and do it all for me- in fact that's what I do most weekend and then there's a mad scramble at bed time when the fairy never showed!! Looks like Harry had a nice day for it, it was lovely weather when I arrived in Inverness

@sparkle Full house so had to get ready for the next lot Juliette ...think of the money!!! Enjoy your time in Scotland & will look forward to your photos!
August 26th, 2013  
Looks like a popular event!
August 26th, 2013  
Glad you had a full house .... shame you missed the tractor pulling though :)
August 26th, 2013  
I'm with you when it comes to tractor pulls! Too much noise and smoke for me!
Now - plowing matches are different. They take skill!
Tell Harry he did a good job with camera.
