Yesterday I turned in my work ID badge and finished the last of the paperwork officially ending my employment with the United States Government. While I was walking out of the place I used to work, I felt a surreal combination of elated optimism and terror. Though my decision to resign was made only after years of research, planning, and hard work, it still feels strange to be actually making this carreer transition.
Last night I drove down to the ranch for an extended work period and this morning took the photographs you see here.
