Story of the last photo:
It was long times ago when I bought this little diecast model of a tractor for my son Elliot in North Conway, New Hampshire.
It is well made 1:50 model of a Case tractor made by Ertl Toys Company.
He was playing with that tractor for many years and now it is sitting in our fireplace gazebo on a beam with many other memorable “half junks” and when some little boys come for a visit they like to play with it always….
Well one day I was sitting at the table in our dining room and suddenly I saw our nice little tractor in the distance cleaning a parking lot.
Well you should see me scrambling quickly for the camera, running outside finding out that it is not our toy tractor but a real one….so quickly get our model set it on the fence and snap, snap, snap….and well this is it!
Now that what they call being at the right time at the right place!

I can see you scrambling quickly for the camera! Love how you swapped the focus on your diecast. I really like the rusty one in 8 best. Keryl · 2011-08-04: 23:13

love this set, tractors are the best :) My son loved the last two, he noticed right away that the real one was the same as the toy :) oh, and I prefer these in colour, that red is too good to give up McMommy · 2011-08-05: 00:02

These photos are so lovely and bright, I love all that red, but the vintage of all the tractors makes the sepia tones work well too! I really like the rusty old tractor the best! Annbramwell · 2011-08-05: 03:01

Although the new tractors are nice and look spick and span, the old rusty one has more character to it . lovely set. MoMac · 2011-08-05: 04:31

When it comes to tractors - the red is where it's at - color!!! Sure - you thought the toy backhoes would sneak by unnoticed Jan???? No way brother - you're caught!!! hahahaha Good try! danrav · 2011-08-05: 06:07

#25 definitely. I know everyone else thinks they look natural in red, but for me it's too much. The focus then becomes on the red and not the photograph. urmysunshine · 2011-08-05: 08:57
