Back irrigating again on the sand. We had four inches of rain last week and two days the boss told me not to come and two days I got sent home early. This week I'm working extra hours trying to keep irrigations going on the sand and trying to catch up mowing and baling hay. I probably won't get caught up on photo streams til things slow down or my eyes get better.
Shot on August 22, this photo shows the unhealthy smoke pouring down the West Mountain slope onto the water and into the air above Lake Cascade in western Idaho.. It completely obscured the slopes in the distance. Meanwhile, normal drainage for irrigation continued to lower the water level of this 30 mile long reservoir. Just a week after this picture was taken, this dock was laying on ground.

This beautiful Hawk* was found out in Idaho sitting on an irrigation wheel - calling out to its mate to warn it that I am near. The mate was on the ground about 500 feet away hunting as well. (* --I believe a Red Tail or Red Shoulder - need to see wings open to tell.)
This view looks across a farm in Diamond Basin, then over the South Fork of the Shoshone and toward the Wapiti Valley which was carved by the North Fork of the Shoshone River. Terraces made up of gravels deposited during runnoff from Pleistocene Glaciers form the benches seen at the base of the mountains.
It seems the circular irrigated lands mostly start from the west part of Oklahoma, and become the norm of farming toward the U.S. west.
This image was merged from 10 shots of a pocket camera taken from an airplane window, as the plane flying through. I'm totally amazed by the work of the small camera, Lightroom, and Photoshop. Note the proper warp of the shapes at the left and right ends, automatically done by PS.
A battered wheel from an irrigation system leans against a fence near Georgetown, Idaho. We were on the edge of a storm when this photo was taken.

In these hot days irrigation is key. Shot near a cornfield near Vorden, shot on our way to a local farm for our supply of artisan jams & juices.

A small section of irrigation pipe sits amid the tall grasses. Who needs irrigation when the grass is so tall and green without it?

We've had some weird weather in California the last few days- an unusually early heat wave followed immediately by an unusually late cold snap. Taken near Tulelake, CA
Here in the desert, irrigation canals/ditches are commonplace and much appreciated. They are the life blood of desert farming communities. Water is such an amazing thing!
A cotton field irrigation pump in Safford, Arizona. Behind the pump is a concrete trough that runs for miles along the side of the road. A combination of the natural slope of the ground and some help as needed from pumps along the way keeps the water moving. Mid picture is what is left in the field after a cotton picker has harvested the cotton. A cloudy, stormy sky is hanging low over the Pinalena Mountains in the background.
