Maria and I (and Red) went to the 3Pears Art Gallery opening on Route 30 in Pawlet, Vt. Gregory Delucca has assembled the work of 30 gifted artists and photographers in a beautiful old barn and he invited Maria to show her pillows and potholders and has seven of my photos on sale as well. It’s beautiful gallery and I especially loved the barn paintings of Brian Hewitt, a North Bennington, Vt. artist. The gallery will be open through Labor Day. It’s a beautiful space filled with beautiful stuff.

I’ve decided to enter the Washington County Fair photo contest this year. The fair is in late August and I am up against some strong competitors. I most fear the farmer’s wives with their point-and-shoots, they know how to take great photos.
