Short films

One part of the farm in each, about half a minute. The fields film has sound: the cranes calling as they pass. The others are silent.

The FraserThe river and its gravel bar, from the air and from the shore.

Looking north over the pondThe view north over the pond to the Fraser, the pond in spring, ducklings in the cattails, and the clawfoot tub beside it.

The farmhouseThe porches at dusk and by day, the wood stove, the kitchen and the bath.

The fieldsSandhill cranes flying past the sun in October, with their calls, then the fields from the air, sprinklers at golden hour, harrowing the stubble in November, the watermelon harvest, and the planted rows.

Through the seasonsSpring planting with the push seeder, the planted rows, squash, walking the melon and corn rows, summer sprinklers and the fall harrowing.

Wildlife

Cranes in spring and fall

Sandhill cranes come through every spring and fall. Their arrival usually signals spring, and when they leave for the south, fall is here. When they call, it is very loud, a sound that seems almost prehistoric.

You see many birds up and down the valley, from bald eagles to mountain bluebirds.

Hear them at the start of the fields film above.
