Taking Photographs

So I'm leaving the farm in about five weeks. I realised this a week or so ago, and since then I've noticed a bit of a shift in the way I regard myself and my work during the day. I guess I mean to say that I'm starting to notice that I will sometimes pop out from behind my eyes and see myself and everything around me as if I were another person standing near by. I end up taking mental photographs of all of us working, or of the fields and horizon, of the animals. It's sort of like I'm mentally documenting things so that later I can have the appropriate fodder for the bit of my brain responsible for nostalgia.
