Elegant Oak

 



Spread your arms and dance with the wind. Sometimes swaying gently, other times appearing ready to leap from the ground.  Elegant partners dancing through the decades, creating their own music.

March Scarcely Here

 


March Scarcely Here

After a winter that hung around far too long, the first faint colours of spring are a very welcome sight. The gold of the willows and the faint blush of the maple blossoms promise warmer days and gentler weather to come.

Treeline

 


Treeline

A gentle separation, of field and field, crop and crop, properties, a treeline waves. Far friendlier than a fence, and a place for the wildlings to travel to, from and along, poplars, maple, sometimes evergreen. Green punctuation marks upon the landscape.

 Tor, Celtic hill fort, an ancient place of safety, now a place of peace and dreams, surrounded by fields of wild daffodils, and grazing sheep.  If only all battle grounds could be this way.

Stalking the Marsh

 



Stalking the Marsh

The  coastal salt marsh of the South Carolina Low Country, is the birth place of much of the ocean's life. It's also home to many who feed on the creatures that are born, and live there. The magnificent herons, and their kin, are a constant presence-stalking the marsh.

Hamilton Rd Undulations


copyright Robin Baratta, Hamilton Rd Undulations
Hamilton Rd Undulations
I drive past this vista regularly, there’s a rutted farm track that goes through the fields and the land tells tales of retreating glacial flood waters, followed by forests then farms. These fields are zoned industrial use, one by one they’re disappearing under concrete and asphalt.

Into The Distance


Into The Distance
Some times the fields seem to go on as far as the eye can see, an illusion of straight fence lines, and undulating land.

Transitions


Transitions

I'm fascinated by the spaces between. Little bits of wild, left behind by the plough, too rough or inconvenient for the ploughman, but loved by the wildlings.

Early in the year, the cover crop is ploughed under, the fertile land is ready for seed.

Donnybrook Green and Gold



Not far off the beaten track of the 401 super highway, a rural road winds past farmsteads and villages, a welcome respite from the city that nibbles at the lands around it. Veracious in it's appetite, will it snatch these lands into it's maw as so many already devoured?

Corn As High As An Elephants Eye

Hamilton Rd Pump House



A remnant of rural life, surrounded by developing subdivisions, safe only until it becomes worth the work of flattening the rolling landscape.  I record it while I can.

Corn and Beans


Corn and Beans, behind the farm market, rolling hills cloaked in crops, undulate their way toward a sugar bush, both productive and beautiful. Glazed acrylic on cradled wooden panel, ready to hang

Recorded on a hot summer day, Don's hill, was an anomaly, a steep drop into what may have once been the bed of a rushing glacial river, long gone, and now permanently erased to make way for a "better" road.
