Location
Somewhere in Central New Jersey — picking apple.
The Story
There really is no story behind this photo.
This past weekend my family and I went apple picking. It was the first time. And it was a pleasant time. The weather was wonderful and we collected about $30 worth of apples.
Yep, $30!
And it’s so easy to spend that much money. I mean you are not even thinking about it. You pick, your wife picks, your kids pick. And by the time you notice it — you have two bags full of yummy apples. Yeah, we were taste-testing.
And as we were leaving this tractor caught my attention. It was full of character:
- rusted
- weathered
- dirty
- over-worked
- muddy
It had charm baked right-in. I was able to get a few photos in before my son jumped in the driver seat. And demanded that I now take photos of him.
Hmmm… so I guess there was a story after all.
