Ride: rīd/ [verb]: to be carry along or be supported by something else.

Here,
along Highway 26 near LaCrosse,
in rural eastern Washington,
a father takes his small son for a ride on an older tractor,
while grading a strip of pasture.
: : :
I had stopped along the highway to shoot something else,
when from a small farmstead a hundred yards or so away,
I heard an engine start,
and then this tractor began to make its way down
a gentle slope towards me.

When I began shooting this farmer,
I didn’t realize he had his small son in his lap,
a cute little towhead in a bright orange hoodie,
simply a sweet capture
by my measure.

What a great shot. It’s always so much fun to visit the farm and get to ride on a tractor!
A boy’s dream!
I can almost hear that old Farmall putting along! We use one very similar to this (although it’s been painted) every day for pulling the manure spreader!
Oh I LOVE it what incredible great timing you have in capturing the best of a world I love. Great shot. Hug B
