Categories: Photography, Reflections on Farm Life
My name is Tonya, and I grew up on a 300-acre farm in rural Virginia that has been in my family for over 100 years. After graduating from college, receiving my master’s degree in speech and language pathology, and living and working in a small city for six years, I decided to return to the place of my childhood. Here, in this rural area, on this patch of green, where for four generations my family has farmed, gardened, and lived, I, too wanted to be a part of this continuity. As a fourth generation farmgirl, I have many interests that not only include, but also go beyond the basics of farming, gardening, sheep and chicken-keeping. It is all of this and more that I plan on sharing in this blog.

Stunning photos!
The quote always makes me feel a bit theological. If you believe in a creator, it’s awe inspiring to believe a creator imagined so well for us. We’re still obsessing about and photographing skies and plants. Or, at least I am. I certainly couldn’t imagine a better environment on my own!

That last image with the clouds and green pasture is spectacular. I can just image the smell from the sweet Alfalfa fields and the crisp cool Fall air.

On a lighter note, I hope I don’t create everything I imagine! I have a devious, murderous imagination 😀

Those words are wonderful! I tend to try and live by that myself 🙂 There’s a Roald Dahl quote about feeling lovely and happy inside and letting it shine out of you 🙂 x

That’s so great to hear! I’m sure you’ll find something soon. The perfect place just hasn’t found you yet! Maybe adventuring is what you’re meant to be doing now. 🙂
