Picture Perfect

Peas that Please

Late one August afternoon last summer, Calgarian Kelly Evans took a series of photos at her grandparents' farm in Ardrossan.  Pictured above is her winning photo of her 83-year-old grandmother shelling a pea pod freshly picked from her garden.  "She has been a dairy/beef farmer for more than 60 years, and every summer grows the greatest garden you could ever imagine," says Evans.  "It was a very fond memory for me growingup, going to my grandma's farm and pciking fresh vegetables from her huge amazing garden.  I took these photos to remind me what a great woman she is and artistically show my appreciation for farmers and the hard-working people that they are."
