Rainbow Ridge

Rainbow Ridge Farms, CA

Being a avocado rancher is not easy. Here Don is standing atop a recently drilled well designed to mitigate the astronomical water bills from the county. The home is mostly complete, except for interior finish work being done by Don (woodworking) and Lynn (décor , painting etc.)

Below a shot of the two of them in their garage which has become Don’s workshop.

I particularly like this photo because of the juxtaposition of the Gentleman in the front to balance the house and add depth and interest. If you would have focused on him the house would have been in focus as well at f14. You could have used f22 at a slower shutter speed.

It is coming along quite nicely. Beautiful place and I'm sure it will be the way they've wished it to be.

The house looks quite nice. Avocados you say? When are they being harvested.
