The summer drought has made good hay in short supply this year, but I spotted this load recently. Another cutting might be possible due to recent rains from remnants of Hurricane Humberto IF the weather doesn't get too cool.
Thanks for your comments. Annie, the green on the outside of the hay bales is plastic net wrap. Before the hay is kicked out of the baler, twine or net wrap is put on the bale to secure it, and the net wrap also reduces the amount of hay lost due to rain. Net wrap can come in other colors as well...red, white...your choice!
They don't bale hay like they use to. It's gone from rectangular bales - to circular ones. Nice photo.
In regards to your comment on my double view photo, it's funny how I can look at a photo and see it differently after a comment. I didn't notice how it looks like the diner is sitting in front of the vehicle, but it sure does look that way. ;)

It's amazing how they can roll it up so neatly. I still have the cowboy movie image of hay in my head.
I love the simplicity and the texture of this shot.

Green on the outside, brown inside. How is that done, I wonder?

Green gold, in the round. Thanks!
