Bringing in the crops!!!

Monday morning Peoria greetings to one and all,

Well it’s that time of year when the farmers are out in full force here in the Midwest getting their crops in! If you’ve traveled at all in farm country, you’ve seen the combines out working in the fields. The weather here in the Peoria area has been perfect for harvesting and we haven’t had much rain so the farmers have been working day and night! They have to take advantage of the good weather because they’d like to get their crops in before the weather turns and the rain will keep them out of the fields!

Here’s one of my snaps of a glorious day of sun and dry weather for our farmers! The numbers should be good and the grain bins will be full!!!!!

It’s time to get to work, so I hope that you’re going to have a great week ahead!!!!

It’s planting time!!!

Monday morning Peoria greetings to one and all!!!

This year has been a very wacky year for weather and I’ve heard that we had the second coldest April since they have been keeping records! Besides being cold in April, it was also very wet with record flooding in parts of the Midwest. For our farming friends trying to get their crops planted in the fields, it means they are waiting for things to dry up and warm up. We’re now getting to a point where things are starting to look up for our farmers and the weather is getting a little better and they are getting out and getting their seed planted!

Here’s one of my snaps from last weeks first farming shoot of the year! This is always something that I really enjoy shooting and like the farmers wanting to plant their crops, I can’t wait to get out and do a little farming photography!!!!

Here’s a Facebook version of the photo as well! http://kevinmay.com/kmclg5may13fb.jpg

I hope that you have a great week to come and thanks as always for checking out my work!!!!!

Harvesting season is here!

Monday morning Peoria greetings to all!!!!

It’s that time of the year here in the Midwest when the farmers are out harvesting their crops. Here in the Peoria area they have gotten a lot done and when you drive around you’ll see how many fields have been harvested!

I was out shooting some harvesting shots with my friends at LG Seeds this past Thursday morning and it was one of those days that was just beautiful!!! It was a nice cool fall day and lots of sun and it sure made up for a long hot summer!!! We were able to get a number of great shots and I’ve got a couple that I’m sharing with you today!!!!

Thanks as always for checking out my work and I hope that you have a wonderful week to come!!!!!
