Occasional Scribbles

Originally uploaded by scribble smith

I’ve had a busy morning trying to sort out my photos on my new Flickr account and generally getting the hang of this new interest, not being very technical. I thought my blog needed a bit of brightening up with some visual stuff instead of all my long written posts.

I’ve taken a series of photos of the grasses that can be found around the fields nearby. We are lucky that we have fantastic light in an open landscape with huge skies and far off horizons. I think the Grasses ‘set’ I’ve done would make nice prints for a farm house kitchen?

There are some different photos of the Harvester that came, over the weekend. It is absolutely enormous. All the fields have been stripped of their corn and only rough stalks are left. Sadly these days, farmers don’t set fire to them anymore, which they used to do as the burning adds important components to the field. With the green house gas problem, it is no longer carried out.

Skinny and I watched the giant machinery skim the field with awe. Masses of dust is let loose which can be seen in the photos and looks like smoke, it’s so thick. Our house is now dusty and the car unrecognisable, flies abound everywhere and all the little mice and animals of the field have lost their homes:( The owls and Cat, wait at the edge for scurrying creatures escaping the terrifying cutter blades. It’s not a good time to be a harvest mouse.

Please feel free to browse my photos now that I have added a link in the sidebar. More will be up soon.
