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.

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!
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.

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.

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!
