Out of service
This rusty, old tractor is sitting in front a building in the Holland Marsh, a former marsh that was drained about a century ago for growing vegetables. A small portion of this growing area is in East Gwillimbury. This tractor looks like it may have been one of the earliest tractors to work the surrounding fields, dontcha think?
In Service
I'm not sure how old this Santa actually is (his voice sounded kinda young) but he sure does LOOK old!
In celebration of the old and wonderful "stuff", I am connecting to Rubbish Tuesday HERE.

Old, but not nearly so rusty. :-)
Yes, the tractor does look very old, but I like it's rustic charm.

Looks like it got stuck in the marsh. Merry Christmas
Great captures! I like the Santa! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Although his hair and beard are white, his face and heart are young...much younger than the tractor...:)JP. HO! HO! HO!
Great old tractor believe it or not I have never been to the Holland Marsh someday perhaps. Hug B
i like that tractor and it looks like it has put in as much time in service as the HO HO HO man.. ha ha ha
I've been in the Marsh area many times. It's quite a lovely part of the province.
Santa's going to be busy in a couple of days!
Love these photos! Merry Christmas EG :)
You certainly have a plethora of old farm machinery in your area. This one, I think, was one of the earliest tractors at the beginning of time! I could drive it, though, as I've been told I have a rusty old halo.
Great Santa pic!
I wonder what the springs on the seat of that old tractor would have been like...
very cute. :)
He makes a great Santa!
Nice shot of the old tractor!
Something outta service = tractor. Something very much 'in' on the evening of the 24th. Flying high.
Love that old tractor!
i love the Santa. what about Santa on a tractor? that would be cute! ( :
That is a good looking Santa!
Santa is ageless but can't say the same about the tractor. Merry Christmas.
A happy looking Santa but the tractor is really great! I guess back then they were made to work not be comfortable!
I love that old rusty tractor! Santa looks like a real jolly guy with a twinkle in his eye. Have a wonderful Christmas!
Love the rusty tractor! Have a wonderful Christmas!

Happy Holidays to you,

Love the Santa photo!
That's a nice Santa, sparkly white and clean beard and hat. Poor old tractor...
This can't have been a comfortable ride, but I know that's not the point. I love the sound of these old tractors.
And yours is quite a handsome Santa, young or old. He seems to fit the fill nicely.
Cute post and Santa's not just in service he's going to be swamped!
Oh, how fun!!! And I am smiling again -- I got my computer back up and did most of it myself after the techs said they weren't able to do any more!! Have a wonderful and very Merry Christmas!!!
I wonder what happened to the steering wheel, but perhaps that is the way they were made, gotto love its charm, tho. Santa makes me smile,happy holidays!phyllis
the old tractor is eye catching. happy happy holidays.
Worth a Thousand Words
Love both shots.
Something about old farm equipment makes for great photographs. Nice job.
LOVE your photos
theres a post up on my blog just for you :)
Imagine Father Christmas on a tractor!
Both are great shots. I think you might be right about that tractor...it looks pretty old. As for Santa, he looks like he 'HOHOHO's' a lot...judging by the laugh lines round his eyes. I think he is perfect for then role :-) Merry Christmas...
Its a good thing he has those flying reindeer to depend on!! Wishing you much joy in this season of love.
Merry Christmas!
Rust! You can never have too many photos of rust! ;-)
Wish that your Christmas was great. Have a nice start of 2015 too.
