Beet

By Bryan Clifton

As we enter Spring and get ready for backyard gardening season, I was reminded of this photo I took of my farmer friend Ricky B, working the family farm. There’s nothing like a fresh & gritty backyard beet!

High contrast image - close up of a man's weather hands cutting a beet with a small knife. He is wearing a dirty t-shirt and jeans.
