suns along the Mohawk

. Mabee Farm .. Stockade sunflowers .

. Jazz On Jay (Lamb & Curley) . .  

. . From Stockade sunflowers early in the month, to Arts & Crafts at Mabee Farm, to Jazz on Jay to end the month, August brought leisure and lovely sites. This posting has some of the sights I enjoyed. 

. . Front St. sunflowers . .  

Sweltering heat let up enough to make the Mabee Farm Arts & Crafts Show a pleasant place to stroll and shoot on August 23rd. I enjoyed chatting with docents and handicrafters under blue skies and puffy clouds.

Meanwhile, all month long, I again got to enjoy large chocolate chip sourdough cookies, and the good vibes of the Bland family, at the Schenectady Trading Company (10 North Center Street). With the added bonus of seeing my photo-canvases displayed, with proceeds from an occasional sale going to Things of My Very Own.
