Description
I have lots of rakes, and use them. I absolutely hate leaf blowers! They are energy consumers and noisy.
Some of my neighbours employ so called gardeners who blow the leaves out into the street, from whence they are blown straight back in the wind. Fancy paying someone to do that ! They could use a garden vacuum and then make a leaf mold heap to use later.

arent objects fun
wonderful capture - besides raking is a form of Zen
Like the effects.
Magnificent shot of (some) the tools in your garden shed.
We don't use leaf blowers either-- a real waste and its suppose to be against the law to blow all the leaves onto the street.
However some people just don't get it..
A nice still life. Its a toss up for me whether leaf blowers or water hoes are worse. Either way represents an all to common attitude. "If I can't see it its not a problem."
I like the fiddling. :)
looking good
Great capture and text!
Good point about the leaves blowing back. I guess that's good for the gardeners because it guarantees future work. Not so good for the property owner who is paying them.
well seen and captured
Andrea, I say the same. I hate the noice from Per´s leaf blower and he BLOWS it down from the yard, between the sheds and this house, onto the lawn. Then we can "glide" on from there and crunch the escargots under the leaves later on. YUCK! I wish he would mount the sack and empty it in our recycle bin, but I am afraid, it is too heavy for him to carry with his very sore feet. Now I use the rakes myself, of which we have 3, before Per even thinks about using the leaf blower :D This shot reminds me of one I posted years ago. :)
Outstanding post work Andrea. God bless.
Great capture once again !!!
