Farmer H, Travel Photographer

I am shocked that Farmer H has not been contacted by National Geographic. Or a plethora of travel magazines in need of glossy photos of sundry items of interest along the trail. Because he never fails to keep me updated on his findings.


Wouldja lookit that? A limb fell off a tree in the rain overnight! Not quite impeding traffic. It's down the hill, just before you come to the Worst Little Blacktop in Hillmomba that Farmer H and Buddy installed over the gravel potholes without a roller.

And on the way back, Farmer H captured some wildlife:


Not with a net or in a trap. He captured them with his cell phone. Didn't even have to build an observation box covered with limbs (although he had one available, just down the road a few yards, from that storm), and sit in it for days. All he had to do was drive by and turn his head.

Those are piles of rocks in behind the two deer. It's the field where our down-the-hill neighbor sold their rocks a couple years ago. Silly neighbors! Don't they know that could have been their retirement nest egg? At least they still have a few bundled up in reserve. Like kind of an old-age eggbeater, if not a full nest egg.

Yes, I think Farmer H needs to start applying for photography jobs. To occupy his time between the auctions and the Storage Unit Store.

The colours in the deer photo are quite soothing, the lighter green foreground, the yellowing grass, pale tan deer and that dense greenery behind them are all easy on the eyes. I like it.

River,
It turned out better than many of Farmer H's photos.

fishducky,
Yes, he kind of avoided his usual habit of taking a lot of scenery with the subject of the photo a tiny dot in the center. I can't fault him on the deer. I'm pretty sure he was zoomed in.
