Test.

I really liked this story of how you eventually found the place that was right for you. An example of perseverance we can all learn from, even as adults. Thanks for sharing!

Oh, yes, I would say it was formative. I didn't really cover half of the learning experiences.

It's a unique experience working on a farm. Thanks for reading!

We're close to the same age then ... Put a link here if you write it so I can check it out.

Haha, yeah that hay will get you! As a teen boy, getting scratched up and itchy was part of being tough, so I didn't mind.

Thank you! These prompts for Silver Bloggers really spark the memories sometimes.

Glad you liked the harvesting description. I couldn't find an exact example of the machine we used online. It's a somewhat unique setup, apparently.

I certainly remember my first job!

Thank you so much. I absolutely love your expanded curation (and the magazine), and it's an honor to be included.

Thank you, @jayna.

Here is my contribution this week:

Hey, thank you for bringing life to my old post. I agree that a thriller or noir could be filmed here. As far as I know they haven't filmed anything in Hoquiam, yet.

Gorgeous!

HOQUIAM, Wash. – This afternoon the tide was out, so I wandered the mucky bank for a shot beside Simpson Avenue Bridge. #photography #pnw

Absolutely. Maybe that is the best part of photography. It gives me a reason to be out there meeting those moments.

Yes, I get that. I sometimes feel like I'm painting when I process my photos.

Nothing to fear but fear itself. Great to hear a report of the wholesomeness that thrives beneath the noise of media. Congrats on your first international trip.

Good to know. Thank you.

And like most such moments, it just sort of happened. I had not intention of stopping by the tracks, and I had no idea the rain would start either.
