Barn with the Rusted Roof – Ontario, October 2013

Posted by Ellie

I was reminded last week that it had been some time since I posted a farming photograph (for Farm Friday, our own theme!) and this reminded me that I have a few waiting to be shared. This one was taken on an outing with my host in Ontario, on an overcast day in October. He had heard of our theme and was determined to drive me to picturesque barns and scenes and this is one of them. I don't know exactly where it was, but not too far from Ottawa.

Winter Fields, Late Afternoon – 41/365

Posted by Ellie
I drove home late yesterday afternoon and passed this field that I photographed in the Spring when the new crops were just beginning to appear above the surface of the ground. The neatly ploughed rows followed the contours of the dips and swells in the land. (That image was entitled ‘Contours’ and you can see it here https://plus.google.com/u/0/105804664540125819976/posts/amt9CtPMipT )

Now all the crops are harvested and the land is covered in a cold protective blanket, waiting for the Spring to release the icy grip of winter. And so this time it is the rows of frozen corn stalks that show the contours of this land.

Snow Blowing Over the Dykes, Canning – 24/365

Posted by Ellie

The day after the blizzard was a day of blustery cold winds and drifting snow, especially across the dykelands. The light, though, was bright, through the lifting clouds. As the roads were now passable, I drove towards our local university town (Wolfville) to get some shopping done. As I drove out onto the main road, I pulled the car over to catch this picture of the village. I have never photographed Canning from this particular angle, but with the snowy landscape and the blowing flakes, I thought it looked lovely, nestled among the trees.

Winter Farm – 20/365

Posted by Ellie

This is one of my favourite farms and has been my subject on several occasions. Each time I pass it, there seems to be something that draws me. This time the muted tones, the soft drawn out clouds and the gentle furrows outlined by the mostly melted snow were what inspired me to stop and photograph it again yesterday. That is the wonderful thing about photography. No two moments are ever the same. Each reflects a unique moment and can evoke powerful memories of seasons and times. Tomorrow it will all change again. We have another blizzard forecast.
