Demo at Mount Vernon Park

Last week, Jeff demo'd at Mount Vernon Park.  He had a great time demonstrating how to create his leaf hooks. Many thanks to Angela for sending us this photo!

We are currently planning our fall demo and teaching schedule so please let us know if you are interested.  

Scenes from the July Market Fair at Claude Moore Colonial Farm

Many thanks to a friend for sending the photo at the top and to our older son for the photo of me taken before the fair.  We had a wonderful time!  And, we want to thank Matt for coming out to forge with Jeff on Sunday!

Jeff Checks out the Farrier Aspect of Blacksmithing

Jeff and our good friend Steve had a great time the other day.  Steve is a farrier and was working at a local stable, so we went to visit him.  Jeff had a great time working in Steve's forge and hanging out!  

Baby Birds

This week has been hard.  One of our friends has died, leaving a wife and two young children. When times are rough, I've learned to carry my camera and look around, because a message is usually waiting.  Life suddenly appears, like a rainbow in the midst of a flood.

A Hungry Snake

Not my usual photographic subject, but at least the camera distracted me while my kids watched this snake try to eat its meal!

"Autumn Reflections" On View at Meadowlark Gardens

One of my photos, "Autumn Reflections" is currently displayed in a show at Meadowlark Gardens now through August 20th because it placed 1st in the Garden Views category for the 2012 Washington Gardener magazine. Enjoy!
