Landscapes: A South Georgia Thanksgiving
This past weekend, we celebrated Thanksgiving. To our surprise, the full meaning of the holiday came to us as we were concluding our trip from a family visit when we became inspired to photograph a field of cotton on our way home.
Besides the time to gather with the family and to reminisce on our blessings, we experienced the celebration of something that was given to us at birth - the land and the fruits it produces. Georgia is a second homeland for me and a native homeland for Jason. We are both very thankful for this land in which we live, for the fruits that it produces by the grace of good weather, hard labor, and its very existence. Collectively, we are given the stewardship of these gifts, and we paused in this thought as we photographed these two small Georgian fields.

Veta, only you, Honey, would see a boll of cotton as a Southern Rose. I never looked at cotton from the eyes of a very creative artistic soul before. There is nothing like looking at things through an artist’s eyes. GREAT PICTURES!!!!
Beautiful pictures! As I drive through rural Bulloch County I am amazed at how beautiful the fields of cotton are just before they are harvested. Another job well done!! :)
man these are awesome! i love the fact that the whole series is black and white. makes it seem more antiquated and rural :) very pretty!
