Hey #MDiTA community! @jerodfoster, once again, walking you through a visual trip to Meadows Ranch. Seasons are often distinct on the ranch, in both visual terms and the work that takes place during the year. Located in north central Texas, just northwest of the larger Fort Worth area, Meadows Ranch sees a larger amount of springtime rain and growth than its counterparts out west. Like with other agricultural ventures, rain is always welcome, even if it leaves the ground, the livestock, and the people a little soppy for a few days or weeks. One thing I’ve always appreciated as a photographer is the ranch’s location for capturing the weather. Being in the transition zone between southern high plains and piney woods, the ranch has a great mix of trees dotting the undulating hills while still leaving plenty of room to see the skies and weather systems moving across them! The rain always bring along the typical spring wildflowers (although these aren’t as plentiful in the region as the Hill Country south), sustenance for grazing fields, and most important, resource for a healthy hay crop waiting be harvested in the summer. After what can be hard winters, springtime is always a welcome sight! • • #MDiTA #igTexas #TexasAgricultureMatters #texasranch #ranchlife #cattleranch #TexasAgriculture #TexasAg #AgPhotography #travelphotographer #fightnaturedeficitdisorder #getoutside #wisecounty #meadowsranch (at Cottondale, Texas)
