Weekend Farmer
by Helen Betts

Okinawa, Japan

This woman is a bureaucrat by day but works plot of land out in the countryside on the weekends. We had never met her before, but we had a nice time talking to her and she loaded us down with fresh vegetables to take home.

Nice photo Helen. Normally I would think showing the face would be appropriate, but here this works as is...there is a certain amount of mystery in the shot.

I really like the way you've captured the theme here, Helen. There is a certain tanquility in the simple act of farming. Dale

Great capture of this Japanese farm scene - I never would have guessed she was a bureaucrat during the workweek! I love the straw hat.
