October

Fall leaves at sunset of my last day on the farm in October. I love all the different trees there, they are cooperative and beautiful subjects.

This horse farm is only a few blocks away. They estimate having between 140 and 160 horses. I smell a photo project, and something else I won't mention.

Gabby, Bob and I out trying to trap a young Red-tailed Hawk. Bob is a licensed falconer. They caught a hawk a few days after I left and named him Ghandi. His training is coming along well, look for pictures in the November update.

Pablo and Gabby working together to fertilize a field with composted manure. To get a different angle I sat on the wheel well of the tractor and held on for dear life.

The view as I drive the four-wheeler into the shed for the night.

Fertilizer and a pistachio tree.

My first time driving a backhoe. It was...exciting to realize how hard it is to stop one of these as Pablo and the dogs darted in front of me.

Bob helps to remove all the dead pistachio trees. The soil here varies greatly, sustaining life or not in a matter of feet.

With the help from a cup or two of coffee Gabby is up with the sun each morning.
