Field in Rows II

What’s a field without rows?  This is the second in a series I started back in March and will likely continue for years to come.  Being such a common theme, it’ll probably take that long to build a collection of such images that speak for themselves from within the crowd.

Today was without question one of the best photo days I’ve ever had.  My buddy, Jay, and I headed north to the Martinsdale Reservoir about 1:30pm with perfect clouds filling the sky and nothing but stunning scenes to behold.  It occurred to me at one point that when you live in places congested with countless [...]
