Harvesting



Many things that I see on a daily basis have lost their novelty. It doesn't surprise me anymore to see a car crammed full of 8 or 9 people. I don't blink and eye when the car speeds by a horse and cart trotting along the shoulder of the highway. These would be things I would take pictures of if I was traveling. But now, it's just life.

However, I was out with my camera the other day and turned to see this tractor rumbling down the road. I snapped the shot just in time, and it captures this time of year: family members harvesting their fields, bringing home the load of tomatoes, potatoes, or eggplant.
