October 2013 in Photos

Harvesting potatoes with our newly acquired potato digger.

Even in October there are still bright colors in the fields.

Close ups of seed pods can yield interesting photos.

The weiner pigs decided to get out one Sunday afternoon and start cleaning up the garden.

Flowers on the Farm 2013

I had thought of posting a few flower photos in the previous blog post. I soon realised though that I had too many flower photos to put in that post and so I decided to make a special post just for my flower photos. Enjoy!

 

 

Farm and Family – July to October 2013

I enjoy capturing photos of the farm in all lights: sunshine

or shadows.

One Sunday evening the weiner pigs got out of their pasture and walked up to the house. Here we are guiding them back to their pasture with fence wire.

At the end of August we took a vacation west. We spent 2 1/2 weeks traveling Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia. This photo is taken on our friends farm in Manitoba.

The farming in the western provinces is so much different then here on the east coast. We were all blown away  by the size of the fields and equipment.

It was the first time my brothers and I saw the Rocky mountains and we were amazed by their sheer size.

Enjoying the view

The view from the airplane over southern Manitoba was incredible.

The pigs enjoyed the excess summer squash.

July, August & September 2013 in the Garden

First greens of the season!

Watching as within a week the garlic scapes appear and grow upwards before curling  is always a reminder of the wonder of life.

The beauty in looking closely.

Harvest of garlic scapes.

Vegetables ready for delivery.

Rainclouds still lingering over the farm.

So once again I am posting photos taken over half a year ago. Enjoy a look back to early summer days when the farm was green.

The garden: a carpet of green

The first crop of the season: radishes!
