A slow start, but thats how the country life rolls
Here we are: Week one is in the books! So far, so good, and life out here is pretty much as I expected. It’s still very early in the season, with lots of rain and gloomy weather. A perfect time to sit, reflect and relax. I've started reading some training documents on how the orchards run. I can't say that I'm overly fond of reading training documents, but I made my bed, and I'm going to lie in it. Also, if I really want to live and experience everything there is about working/running an apple orchard or farm, I gotta do it, I guess.
I wish I could have started this blog post with some exciting content, but sadly, there really hasn't been a lot going on. I got myself situated in a room in my grandparents’ house, and walked around the property a few times to look for some images; but alas, nothing much has happened. That’s okay, though. I have a lot of time here and plenty more opportunities to wait for images to show themselves to me. The lighting out here has also been pretty one-sided, with it being spring, and all. It's been cloudy and gloomy all but 2 days of this week so far.
This coming week looks to be pretty eventful. The weather is looking very promising, and I'm planning on taking a walk around the closest town. I think I'll spend a day or two in town making a few photographs. Until then, I hope you enjoy some quick images I made around the main orchard and house. I'll also be driving to one of the other three orchards they own, in the next few days.
