Light Play

     Good morning, readers. (And a colorful one, too.)


     In the early hours before dawn, it was a very pink and blue morning. And while it may not have been the best morning for taking pictures of agriculture, the light was doing things that a layman photographer like myself can only marvel at. (and take advantage of) These pictures are in the order that they were taken. roughly half an hour apart.


     Out in Owyhee County, much of our world is organized and layered. This picture shows that quite well, I think. The fire in the middle is (or was) a pile of alfalfa roots. Even after the plant is gone, the sturdy roots remain. An implement with S-tines on will drag them up and out to the end of the field where they can be burnt. Otherwise they'll gum up other implements.


     The geese are on the move. They're beginning to form their groups, gaggled or otherwise. When the light comes through certain clouds, it makes differences in colors and details "pop." Even at a long distance, you can easily see that these are Canada Geese. (They might be Canadian Geese too. I'm not sure where they came from.) Somebody might try to eat them soon, so they aught to get their migration under way.


     Lastly, we got a second sunrise this morning. While it would seem that the sun is behind the clouds in this picture, it's actually outside of the shot, high in the sky. The light is reflecting off of the top of the clouds. Hopefully this isn't the only sunshine we get today.
     I fear that I may be coming up on the end of what can be considered agricultural for this year. I fully plan on sharing my pictures until the year is up. But as a heads up, you may not be learning so much about farming and ranching every day. Still, please come back and see what I see.
