Ahh... It feels good to finally get some film developed. Always a treat to see the negatives and prints for the first time. These images were taken with my Flexaret.
I'm doing a little summer retrospective here, but why not look back on the sunny days as winter closes in?

All those flattened boxes were full of seedlings at the beginning of the day. During this one day, tens of thousands of trees were planted by the crew on this block. We were planting under and around the burnt remains of yesteryear's forest fires.
We don't usually use quads to transport trees, but this block was unique. We had about an hour walk in (and out) due to deactivated roads. Without quads it would have been a heli show and our wages would have dropped dramatically to compensate—one more reason why our company rocks.

After some crazy hot and dry days we finally got a serious thunderstorm to ring in the end of the contract. We took the brilliant rainbow as a sign and got out of there as fast as we could. Who wants to sleep in a hotel when you can sleep in the wilderness anyway? We figured there was no moisture left in the sky since the potential there had been for rain had ended up on the pavement.
Thanks for getting your feet wet Joel!
And in honour of Joel and his blog, I'm going to end with a quote:
You've gotta live young to die old.
(If it isn't a quote yet, it is now)
