I hope somebody's going to use them Mary!
Mary MacADNski: I hope so too. This is straw at least, not hay.

Gobsmacked!

One of your best, Mary.

Makes me think frozen musical notes on a stuble stave.
Mary MacADNski: I'm glad you like it. I may put up another for tomorrow for three hay bale shots in a row.
I like this one even better than yesterday's. I love the rows punctuated at different intervals by the bales, each one wearing a hat of snow. an excellent photo!
Mary MacADNski: Thank you so much. It is unusual for us to have so little snow this year. We have just enough for some interesting photos.

Superb Mary
Mary MacADNski: Thank you kindly.
Pick you own sugar frosted cereal! Lovely shot Mary
Mary MacADNski: It does look like frosted cereal.
Delightful Mary. Like little slices of cake with icing. Very attractive.
Mary MacADNski: Thank you. I wonder if that is what the cattle think.
Nice shot Mary, the trees look quite mysterious with the mist.
Mary MacADNski: I have a couple other shots without the trees but liked the effect of their unfocused, misty look.

Looks like mini frosted Swiss rolls, Mary. I like the misted trees in the background.
Mary MacADNski: I posted this shot for those unusual looking trees. I actually have a better shot of the bales.

superbe composition !
Mary MacADNski: Merci beaucoup, rem la.
Do these remain there all winter Mary or are they collected before the really deep snos arrive?
Mary MacADNski: It is straw left from the harvest of some grain or another. It is usually stored in one small area of the field but this was never gathered. If it was hay it would be more important.
What a beautiful composition. I like the background, the provision of straw bales, snow. It is a serene and beautiful winter picture.
Mary MacADNski: It certainly is serene in these parts in the winter. It can be very pretty.

Frosted Hay. Brilliant composition smile
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Savo. It is straw left from the harvest of some grain or another. It is usually stored in one small area of the field but this was never gathered.
great shot
really tells a story
Cheers

Mary MacADNski: The story of snow?
You don't usually see these out in the snow Mary.

Makes a great photo
Mary MacADNski: They are in snow here but usually not left scattered. They are usually stored in one small area. This straw is wrapped in a clear wrap so it is protected.

This could be Michigan, Mary! But don't you remember growing up when bales of hay were retangular! I wonder what year they switched to round. I recall that it dries out faster like this?
Mary MacADNski: I have lifted many square bales, Ginnie, and not that long ago. Some farmers still use square bales as that is what fits in the hay lofts of old barns.
A familiar picture Mary in this weather. Good one.
Mary MacADNski: Absolutely familiar in rural areas.
I agree with Bill, Chad & Alan; this really does remind me of frosted cereal, Mary.

Will these bales be left out in the field all winter?
Mary MacADNski: These bales are wrapped with a clear wrap and I would imagine will stay in the field. It is straw, not hay, so not as vital.
Definitely one of your very best, Mary- great composition, tones, colours and geometry- love it!
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, David. I'm surprised people like this so much. I believe I have a better one that I will post one day.
Superb composition Mary!
Very nice background!
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Armando. We finally got some snow and now ice is forming. It have had more seasonal temperatures this week.

the trees in the background really make this stand out.
Mary MacADNski: They looked so strange, I had to put it up but I like another shot better.
