LABOR

Hawkins, TX

Here, my brother in law, Rusty, is laboring on cleaning up the area by building a fire and throwing scrap wood into it found all over the property. They must keep the roads and walkways clear of all fallen branches or you wouldn't be able to go back deep into the property.

Happy Labor Day to all the folks in the U.S.A.! Believe it or not, only one school district has to go to school today. Quitman ISD is having classes today. No other school district in the area is holding school today. It is a Federal Holiday but for some stupid reason, this school is in session.

Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi
1/60s f/3.5 at 28.0mm iso200 full exif

Hot work, done in the Texas heat... ugh. Nice capture, Cindi!

This brings back so many memories...as a young person I used to help my father
clear land doing exactly this. Great image, I can smell the smoke and feel the heat
from the fire. - Racine

Here he is double dipping! Has two fires going. Good work Randy, and nice job Cindi, both of you working hard! Have a safe trip home!

Love all the colors and action in this shot. V And I agree that the fact that this school is in session is indeed strange!

Nice capture with all that fire and warm light. Good job.

When I was finishing my BS degree we went to class on Labor Day - it was a bummer :-(
Cool image!

Great exposure and photo. I like the blue tone of the smoke against the bright reds of the fire.

A very lovely shot! Makes me think of Guy Fawkes night, but that isn't until November.
Oh and it is Labour Day in Canada too!! V

I remember living in TX back in the 80's when Memorial Day was not considered a state holiday.......
Cool shot Cindi! Your BIL looks like a nice guy! :)

Looks like a ghost on the right!

As for the school, that seems totally strange!

Very dynamic capture of the fire and the guy feeding it. You definitely can't do this sort of thing around here. Everything is dry as tinder.
