Having to mow approximately 1.5 acres of my 3 acre parcel, I must say, at times I get bored with it.
When I first bought the house and the new mower [3 years ago], I mowed on Turbo Speed thinking it would get done faster. I went thru 3 sets of blades in 3 mowings since I was not familiar with the terrain. My neighbors got a good laugh at me Galloping around the yard on my new Sears Craftsman tractor. I said, why would they put "Full Speed Ahead" on the mower if I was not allowed to use it? At any rate, I now mow at the fastest "safe mowing speed" and get it done in about 2.5 hours. No new blades now. : )
So, this year I decided to cut in a crop circle that planes could see from above. The area I cut the cirlce in is a field of goldenrod which means that in the coming weeks it will be filled with yellow tufts of pollen sure to please. I am thinking about getting a reddish mum plant to place smack dab in the middle of the spiral so it looks like a bullseye. Not that I really want planes shooting at my target in the front "40" [instead of back forty] but visually it would look cool. Now if I can just find a plane that can fly over so I can photograph it from the air. Surely there must be someone offering airplane rides in the greater Grand Rapids area.

Can you recommend a good lens for shooting? 300mm?
