11/12/11: This had been a quick visit because Sparkle was really on the move. I'm not that happy with the quality of my images, so I'll treat them as a final document of the hay bundles in the property. That morning I had seen a tractor piling up the ones from the front field onto a flatbed, so I expected that all would be gone that night. Sparkle must have sensed my curiosity because she took me right there during our walk around sunset. I was surprised, and relieved in a way, that the back fields hadn't been cleared once we arrived. I was nearly jogging through, but did manage to stop a few times for quick shots. On our way out, I turned around to check out a couple bundles sitting under a small tree that had turned color (we have very few of those here). I just liked the dull brown set against the red and oranges, and upon a closer look, a small leaf stuck in a bundle caught my eye. You've got to appreciate the little things that stand out against the big, and I was able to take a few pictures before Sparkle was on the move again. With hindsight I'm glad that I had this one last bundle run. For some reason, there's something to hold onto in that space.
