Description
"Down on the Farm" is a photo I took in East Texas out in the country. This old Ford pickup looks like it has been there for a while, especially from the way the grass is grown up around it and it seems to be buried in the dirt. Hay is stacked up behind it.
And a cute little bird has chosen the old truck as a good high spot to look around! The truck has rust everywhere and it is a little difficult now to tell what the original color used to be.
I just imagine that the owner really loved his old Ford and really cannot stand to part with it. I am sure it was a very reliable old truck to have used on the farm back in the day.
It reminds me of a truck my Daddy bought once to use on his land. Of course, I was a teenager back then and it was terriblly embarrassing for me to ride in such an "OLD" vehicle. But my daddy was smart. He would get me to go with him by promising me a driving lesson when we reached the back country roads. So, of course, I rode with him! ;) But I won't tell you about me ducking down when we drove by a friend's house. Ha! Now, I would give anything to ride again in that old pickup with my Daddy.
But it is really sad to me to see this truck in disrepair and abandoned. It sure would be pretty all fixed up again!
