I spent much of the day editing the photos I took at Bill and Jack's farm in Essex County, Ontario last Sunday, but am not yet ready to post the gallery. I have lots of photos from which to try to select the best of the best. That is going to be hard because so many of these images touch me deeply. I literally get chill bumps looking at them. Our own PBaser Colin Clarke has helped me understand why. He wrote in a comment, "There is something deeply spiritual about life 'on the land'. And we are all drawn to it by some hidden primeval urge, engraved forever on our DNA." Colin would know. He was born on a farm in the Australian Outback and spent his early years working the land with his parents and siblings. When I looked at my own heritage in this way I realized my great grandparents on both sides of my family lived and worked close to the land. Yes, it obviously IS engraved on my DNA. Why else would this old Ontario farm hold such meaning to me? I hope it will do the same for you.
