I'll love the pecan grabber even more if some of the pecans get turned into pie.



We used to visit Savannah every year when my wife's cousin was alive but he died 6 or 7 years ago so we just quit going (He was a walking, talking history book on Savannah and way more fun than the paid tour guides.). But that was also before I had a good camera and then the first time we go back after I got a good camera we only had about a day so I couldn't get to all the places I would have liked.

Same with the cousins in west Georgia - we were only there for 2 days and just didn't have time but I demanded the family let me stop long enough to take some pics at the old homestead even though it was the middle of the day with the harshest sunlight and my cousin was at work so I couldn't get him to move the tractors around to more favorable lighting and scenery.

Still, I think I got some good shots. I'm new to using filters to alter my pics like I did here...I've always been pretty much a fan of taking pictures of what I see and not staging things but if I could have I would have moved the tractors some. (The working ones anyway, lol. There were a bunch more that weren't going anywhere. Gotta have a good parts supply if you're gonna restore tractors)

But it's only 4~5 hour drive so hopefully we can go back when we have more time. (And less mothers-in-law lol)
