Spiders in the Sky?

Spiders in the sky?
These giant metal spidery looking things were on display at the Central Alabama Fair last week, and they're brand-new hay tools (hay rakes) manufactured by our local Bush Hog company.
Bush Hog was founded in Selma by Selma people some 60 years ago, and if you've ever heard of  "bush hogging" a pasture, that expression came from here! The Bush Hog rotary cutter transformed clearing a pasture or cornfield from primitive methods to modern. No more hoeing those corn stalks for days on end! 

Take a trip around the world to see more skies,
sans spiders, at Skywatch Friday.

  3. Hadn't thought of that, ladyfi, but they really do resemble spider lilies.

  7. What a cool shot! I have no need for a hay rake, but I might like one just as art!
