      <image:caption>Just looking at this picture, I can hear the familiar hum of the Ferry between Hatteras Island and Ocracoke on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. I can feel the wind on my face and I can taste the salt in the air. Each day I have the opportunity to slow down and savor every moment but some places it just seems easier. This is one of those places for me.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This view at Biltmore Estate, Asheville, North Carolina, is breathtaking. This place has helped me get quiet and rest this year as well. My heart is broken for the devastation this area, Asheville, and Western North Carolina has experienced due to Hurricane Helene.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>One of my favorite mirrors. Fun fact, in 2022, it fell from this wall. It sounded like lightning striking and it scared me nearly to death. The mirror broke into what felt like a million little pieces. I had a new mirror cut for it and the frame repaired… because some things are worth fixing.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Photo Description: My grandpa Will O. Ward on his trusty blue Ford tractor. This was a familiar view of my childhood. He loved to farm and he loved his tractors. Given I grew up across the road from him and my grandma, I did get to see him enjoying working on the farm. I can still remember the sound of this tractor and how relaxed my grandpa looked on it. I get it now in a new way.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Photo Description: On his 30th birthday, my dad, Dr. Phillip Scotton, sat on another blue Ford tractor with my brother, William Scotton. William likely felt the unique joy of sitting on a tractor… of course, paired with the excitement of a slice of his mom’s homemade cake.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Photo Description: The first field I mowed. It was not perfect… and there were moments I thought “oh I’m getting it!" followed by “I have zero business doing this”. But I did it and knew it needed to be documented. On some level, I’m sure I was still dumbfounded that I was doing this. Time on the tractor was a unexpected gift during the early days of COVID-19.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Photo Description: Neither Grandpa Ward nor my dad lived long enough to see me fall in love with “tractoring”; but, it makes me think of them often. I can imagine how they would respond though… the way they would both look at me, hold my gaze, give a slow head shake, followed by a slow smile, and chuckle.</image:caption>
