Project365 205: Take it Easy

I have to admit that my major accomplishment for the day was doing mostly what we see here. Just laying around not doing much! Monday comes soon enough.

Project365 202: My History

This is the oldest family owned farm in York Region (as far as I know). It has been continuously owned by a member of my family for 205 years. So my agricultural roots are deep. Certainly lots has changed. The granary bins that are visible in the background are a modern addition. The peak of the 105-year old barn just peaks over the roof.

Here is a different perspective of the house and I cannot take credit for it as it was envisioned and taken by Barb, not me. She has a good eye. This is 3-image HDR. We wanted to include the flowers in the foreground and I didn't bring a flash.

Project365 201: Its a Fruit

I have mentioned before that when I pick my weekly theme, I also put together a list of shots that I think would work for that theme. I have shared those for some weeks before. I usually also in my mind pick a 'safety' shot. That is a backup plan in case life gets in the way .

The safety shot may not always be as 'grand' a concept as some of the others but something I can fall back on.

Today, other parts of my life got in the way and I only had a few minutes to grab my shot for the day. Fortunately my daughters have planted some vegetables in our backyard, including these tomatoes. They are coming along quite nicely.

I grew up on a farm. Every farm had a garden and fresh tomatoes were something we always looked forward to.

The last image, "Pinned" is my pick of the day.

Project365 199: Clover Field

This week's theme is going to be agriculture, so images this week will feature aspects of local Ontario farms.

To start with here is a field of Clover. I had little idea about why one would grow clover, but I know my dad did grow it occasionally. Often mixed with hay for a feed crop. I doing some reading, I find that it is also useful to improve the nitorgen in the soil for another year. One other use is to provide nectar for Honeybees, but I didn't see any beehives near this field.
