Carrying water home from the spring
Gathering alfalfa
Home with the cows and hay
Feeding the sheep
Working the fields
Harvesting sunflowers
Basket of harvested medicinal roots
At the stone grinding mill
Making tofu
In school
In the temple
Bridal donkey
Leaving offerings for the ancestors
Water cans in the yard
Smoking a pipe
Looking through the window
Feeding a kitten
