Local Maryland Farm Market Project

I decided to photograph as many local farm markets as possible for a little photo project.  With somewhat limited mobility, I try to get creative with new things to photograph.  Past projects included crepe myrtles, boat launches, beaches, local parks and more. 

I began my project on May 20th and got caught up in River Concert photos for a while, so I finally edited the photos.  Apologies for posting old pictures of fruits, vegetables and flowers that are now out of season, but there are still lots of other items to buy locally homemade or home grown.  

I started in Calvert County with Chesapeake's Bounty Farmers Market, just because I stopped at Annmarie Garden.   I wanted some good strawberries, yum.  I apologize if I am making you hungry.  No fruits or vegetables were harmed in the making of these photographs!  At least, not until later after I got home.

Annmarie Garden Wingin' It Art Exhibit is still up till August 23rd

My sunset goose photo is still up in the downstairs gallery till August 23rd.  I also have three photos in the longer lasting upstairs exhibit, Landmark.  To be nice to my fellow artists, I wanted to share the Wingin' It digital booklet featuring all the art works on exhibit.   You can see the winning art too. (My photo is on page 81)
