Bringing forth words to convey feelings, or to describe a scene is sometimes …
A bit hard.
Searching my mind for those exact words which project what I’m seeing, feeling, or hearing
Causes me to pause for I wish to show to you the earth, the sky, and capture the feeling in words that is see, hear, and feel
Looking for that perfect word reminds me how limited my vocabulary really is–
To help you see (beyond the photographs) the wind rippling through the corn stalks, or
Or clouds obscuring the sun in the possible threat of rain
Or the golden leaves being pushed off the tree’s branches as the sap slowly descends to the roots
Readying for the long winter’s night. I always think of this time of falling leaves as trees making haste slowly, every so slowly preparing for rest and a pause in breathing
The canal water is now gone. Turned off to winter in the Blue Mesa Dam or clear up at Taylor Reservoir. The silence of the tumbling churning water is as stunning as breaking glass…
For us our work is slowing, but not stopping. The harvests are all in, paychecks will arrive sometime in December.
A whole season of farming from daylight to sunset and sometimes in the deep of night.
The perfect life for Terry and I—
From your friend on a western Colorado farm,

Your vocabulary is definitely not limited. George Orwell said: Never use a long word where a short one will do. And you know all the important ones.

Your words and your pictures are beautiful … I never think vocabulary is as important as using the right words, which you do… and I was always taught that the short words and short sentences are the best writing… the King James bible with its exquisites cadences, rhythm and poetry of th0ught has a vocabulary of 8,000 words, compared to Shakespeare’s 60,000, yet it is just as powerful and beautiful as Shakespearean prose !
