It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over – 57/365

The sun was setting as we were coming home last evening and so this scene was a gift to me. I have been so busy this week that I have had little time to do everything I want. So when this image came into view, I jumped out of the car and took the photograph. It is looking across the dykes in Nova Scotia’s Annapolis Valley. The sun as it set almost looked like a red torch (or flashlight) beaming up from the horizon. By the time I stopped to get this, it had changed, but still was lovely.

The Harvest is almost all in

“The Harvest is Almost All in”

To remind all you good folks that tomorrow is once again #farmfriday  , I am sharing an image of a field you have seen more than once – featuring the tractor that was harrowing, the lines of the newly sprouted corn etc. This time you can see that the harvest is well under way, the fall colours behind showing the urgency to get everything safely put away before winter sets in.

We on the Farm Friday team are all looking forward to seeing your great images of farm life from around the world, shared with our theme.

My Favourite Farm in the Rain and Wind

In album Farming

Reminder! Farm Friday is just around the corner! So if you can get out and photograph a farming related subject near you … if you're in the city, have you a farmers' market you could share with us? And if you can't get out why not dig out the farm photos you took a while ago and dust them off ready for our #farmfriday  theme tomorrow. If in doubt as to how to post to our theme, (curated by +Steven Kennard – our farm Friday manager, our European farm girl +Sofie Løve Forsberg and myself) then nip over to the page (+Farm Friday)  and read all about it on the About page!

Every time I drive along the road and see this farm with its beautiful old barn, I want to photograph it. I have taken photos of it from most angles and in different seasons and I love it more every time I see it. Here you see it in the wind and rain of early fall.

See you all tomorrow! Happy farming. 🙂
