We've arrived - the last day of the challenge is here! :2tumbs:
Let's round this off with a flourish!

I have rather an affinity for tractors, I always enjoy when you post them!So ends what has been a rather unsatisfactory challenge as far as I'm concerned, thrown off my theme after day 4 (just as i was beginning to feel comfortable with it despite being out of my normal genre) due to government requests to restrict our activities for well known reasons which meant I had to fall back on my small and well photographed parish. This morning symbolises my frustrations, drizzle falling now with more heavy rain arriving imminently and due to last all day means a grab shot just yards from my front door where I see these subjects parked virtually every day. I did at least have an excuse to change equipment part way through with the purchase of the Panasonic 12-32mm lens and that did help sustain me through to the finish, sadly a rather damp and soggy finish.

Tractors in the rain
And no, I didn't really mean to finish with these.

Done! And with a shot that illustrates what the lens can do (wide open, very close to the point of focus - fun to do, impossible to get with other lenses)

We get the big snows.Looking out our front window around 4:30 AM. A weak system of cold with mixed rain and snow moved in last night. This is expected to last much of the week. Typical winter mix around here. Big snows happen, but they are not the norm.....
Headed our way, should be here starting tomorrow night, Monday, and lasting until Tuesday. Fun times ahead.And so January ends in snow. After taking this, I went around and shook all my smaller trees to get the snow off. We lost a few branches on the large trees, but that's a project for the spring......
