Driving on Hwy 80 near Vacaville on our way home from Tahoe today, we spotted these tractors in the middle of a field. When we drove by I realized they weren't tractors at all, but stacked and painted HAY BALES, and we immediately pulled over to try and get a closer look. Unfortunately we weren't able to get close enough to take a really good picture, because these were some impressive constructions- complete with painted silhouettes of steering wheels and windshield wipers through the painted on windows. Roadside treasures like these really make me want to take a road trip...

ha! I love the Bay Area...grew up there...and went to Monte Vista school in Vacaville...impromptu art like this is what's missing here in the northwest...I saw some handbills pasted on random walls the other day...on our 3rd thursday artwalk as a matter of fact.....Sour Grapes, simple graphic, 33 cents.....Bad Apples....25 cents....it was fun!
as you know, Dad and I drive this road often. Because I'm usually in the passenger seat, I get to enjoy these hay bale tractors whilst Dad (driving) is admonished (by me) to take a quick look over at them, but not to look for too (dangerously) long!
Glad you stopped to take pix!
