slow motion creek

The creek just off Crozet trails behind Westhall and Cory Farms.  I wonder if anyone can do a shot like this with a iphone?

barn wall with metal signs

A house having an estate sale in Crozet had these metal signs hanging up on the side of a barn.  A nice scene, worthy of snapping.

peaches

Apparently the little peach being held didn't want any peaches!  But still, Chiles Peach Orchard is a great place to visit to "pick you own" or grab a bag of peaches to go.  In addition, they make and sell peach sweetened donuts, ice cream, dressings and marinades!!!!

local hay bale

My very first hay bale photo.  These are pretty much everywhere in Crozet.  I see lots of these photos from high school students...always trying to get something cool looking out of it.  I guess I was feeling the same way today.   My wife was at an estate sale and I thought I'd kill some time with a snap or two.  The camera, a Pentax (mirrorless K-01), has a bunch of photo filters built in and this was set at high contrast mode.  Anyone out there have a cool hay bale photo they would like to post?  

spider webs!

Today I saw something at the Crozet Farmers Market that really caught my attention.  A young lady named Dabney Farmer (Designer of Dabbycats Creations) had a very unusual item she was selling...spider webs!  She somehow perfected the art of laying them down on a piece of slate and preserving it with a clear coating.  While I snapped a few pictures, she told my wife it was it is done with a special secret family "recipe".  I thought they were pretty amazing.  Another cool thing she did was blend fruit drinks with a pedal powered blender hooked up to the back tire of her bicycle!
