a little more Ruth for the season
Untitled (Ruth and Naomi, Gleaners), Adi Nes, 2006. Women gleaning the remainders after the harvest is a key feature of the Ruth story. (A photograph of two Brown women are bent over, picking through scattered apples and other produce on a littered, gravelly ground. The ground is littered with discarded packaging, plastic bags, and other debris. They both wear clothing for warm weather; one wears a light-colored head covering. Boxes containing apples are on the ground nearby.)
