Rusty Old Green

 

In my roaming through small towns, I come across a variety of odds and ends.  This old tractor is rather unique.  The front part was scavenged and the rest left behind.  Usually the whole tractor is taken.

It was nice of them to leave a bit behind.  I could take a picture of the leftovers.

Watched a two step the other morning in the wee hours.  A coyote came on one of the local feral cats.  They were bouncing back and forth on, in and around the ditch.  The street light pole made for some interesting maneuvers.  The coyote was in the ditch and the cat on the street.  bounding back and forth they went.  When  suddenly the cat does a 180.  Across the street it flies, up the tree it leaps.  Coyote close behind, sliding in the gravel to a stop at the base of the tree.  Head tilts backwards, looks up at the cat.  Trots over to the other side for a better look.  Stands there, pondering what to do next.  Patiently ole coyote stands there looking at the missed meal.  Soon ole coyote trots off in search of another meal.

Nighttime in the neighborhood.

Being a tractor buff that caught my attention. Your words were the perfect ending to a tractor that's not quite all there.

Interesting left behind treasure for a picture such as yours.

That must have been quite the sight watching the cat and the coyote. Sounds a bit like a Looney Tune Cartoon. :)Glad the cat got away! :)

Have a great week John.

Those old vehicles sure must have stories to tell. I'm glad you were able to capture it. That was fortunate...another drama unfolded.
