Farmer in field

Conall watering in mesclun in the late afternoon. Even on busy harvest Friday, plants need water if they’ve had no rain. Guest photo by Erin, with a different than usual, no less…realistic, view of the field. There’s nothing like being there to see for yourself! I cropped the photo to fit the format, but it’s the original that just catches a certain tiny farm feeling…

Erin: I didn’t exactly think you’d intended the blur, but I thought the photo worked (else I wouldn’t have posted it :). Conall’s gonna make it into a “My Farming Summer” postcard! There’s a kinda…blurry, hazy, late in the day farming mood that seems to go with repetitive tasks… Hope you don’t mind. It’s all snapshots!
