John Deere 1942


This tractor looks small compared to the huge ones used today.  No air conditioned cab, no computer controls.  Just a two cycle engine, four wheels and a metal seat.

Big @ss Fan



Yes, it is a very big fan, in fact it is a Big Ass Fan.  And yes, that is the company name that makes these huge fans that cool very large areas.  These particular fans are in the long buildings at the State Farmer's Market.

Lipstick on a pig



Who says lipstick doesn't make a pig beautiful?  Also pink hoof polish, blush and blue eye shadow?  She stands at the entrance to the Farmer's Market Restaurant, together with her husband, farmer Pig.

:And now the crepe myrtles



It seems like each flower takes it's turn and blooms in it's own time.  Now it's the Crepe Myrtle's turn.  The trees are turning fluffy white, pink and purple all over town.

Yucca



I didn't realize that yucca would grow in rainy North  Carolina, but obviously it does.  I don't think I've seen this much yucca blooming all at the same time, even in California.

Nature



This month's theme is Nature.  So many of my pictures are about nature that it was hard to figure out what to post today.  But the Wilkerson Nature Preserve is one of the places that is dedicated to preserving and educating about nature.  This is one of the trails through the preserve.
