FFF Photo a Day - Day 53
This collage captures a few images related to the daily water walk on the farm. For most small scale farmers, winter means a daily slog of bringing buckets of water out to the animals.
In weather like this (ranging from -20 to -40C overnight) it is difficult to keep water from freezing except in a heated (or very full) barn. The financial commitment needed to set up heated water lines out to the animals is often out of reach for mixed or small scale farms.
So....it means that once or twice a day, out we go with buckets in hand. Today I tried to capture a picture of me when I was done with my eyelashes full of ice... but the darn iPhone doesn't work too long at such temps!
