Finishing up FFA Week: Watsonville

I wanted to finish off this FFA week with something special.  I would be quite amiss if I did not post photos of some beautiful scenery around Watsonville. 

Farming is a gamble.  And yet, this occupation is what my uncle does, several of my cousins do, just like their fathers and grandfathers did before them.  Perhaps it is this beautiful land that keeps drawing them back, year after year, putting their all into the crops and praying for a good harvest. 

I find myself stopping many mornings to take a picture of the sun coming up over my Uncle Bruce's field.  I love to get the sun rising up over the trees, on my way to work.  It is such a pretty landscape.  Summer is breathtaking around Watsonville.  Whether it be the field between my house and Dale's, planted in watermelons, or the field over by Mr. James', there is some beautiful scenery to be seen.

I began posting these pictures on Facebook and Instagram, just because I found them to be pretty.  However, I have since found that some of my friends who have moved away from the area often look at them when they're feeling homesick. 

Something that I've said many times: "I've thought about moving away a million times, but then a sunrise or sunset over Watsonville has stopped me in my tracks."
