Farms

There is nothing quite like the textures at farms... the rough hardwood of fences and barns, the bristly fur of livestock, the soft feathers of fowl, the delicate leaves of crops and gardens, the cool metal of machinery, the firm yet friable feel of the earth... the simple joy of being connected with the land.

  6. Nice rendition of a farmscape...full of texture and selective D.O.F

    But it's not always romantic, as I sit here, the perfume from recent farming activity is percolating through my loft. Muck spreading - and hopefully it should smell a little sweeter in the morning.
