Blueberry Barrens

On the other side of the highway along the road to Starbird was this blueberry field looming up in front of me. It was magnificient, just the field I had been hankering in my mind to paint. When we get there in August, there is not generally much color, perhaps a slight blue hue across the field by the second week, so this is typical. The vehicles were coming and going all day along a road near the woods. Old rattley farm trucks with wood sideboards loaded with blueberry crates, beat up old cars and pickup trucks filled with pickers to once again hunch over their work in the hot sun. I cannot wait to return there next year and see it in July. And I do so want to go in September some time when the fields turn red and paint that too.
