This Pond is a lot larger than it appears.

I have worked in this area quite often my entire life and I can never remember there not being buzzards in the sky. (Lots of dairy farms)

Elements 7 ~~~ 64-bit Windows 7

On a poverty-level Kentucky budget, a 24-exposure roll of film would have two Christmases and a summer vacation on it and we might have to wait another six months before being able to afford developing the film.
I still have trouble remembering that it doesn't cost anything to take thousands of pictures; it just almost seems impossible to be true.

We call them vultures here, but I think they are the same. See them on occasion around here usually circling overhead like in your photo. There is a family most years in the river valley. So ugly they are cute.
A couple of us were joking recently that since we got old, it seems more vultures are circling overhead while we are walking.

(Joke.)

I forgot to mention - the crop in the foreground is soybeans - which we were harvesting, hence the reason I was there when the photo was taken.

Even being there in person, it looks as if they wouldn't be worth the effort; however, that combine doesn't go very far at all before the 200-bushel hopper is ready to be emptied into the truck (or gravity-bed).
