Falls Church Farmers Market

There are several really good farmers markets in the D.C. area.
One of my favorites is held in Falls Church, Virginia.

There's lots of good food, interesting people, and so many things to take pictures of!  Here's a few of my favorite pictures from the Falls Church farmers market.

Amish Country

I'm so sorry it has been so long since I've posted some pictures!  I've been working a particularly intense project at my "real" job (though, hopefully one day this will be my real job!) so I've been quite busy.  I'm still taking pictures every chance I get, I just have had a little less time lately to edit and post.

These samples come from a trip I took to Lancaster County -- better known as Amish Country -- a couple of weeks ago.  I absolutely loved Amish Country!

As you'll see by the many pictures, there were farmers markets, covered bridges, Amish cemeteries, and beautiful scenery.  You may also notice there aren't many pictures of the Amish themselves.  See, it is against the Amish religion to pose for photographs, so I tried to respect that and didn't try to take pictures of them except for when it is allowed (allowable times include: when they are working in their fields or drive past in a buggy, etc.). 

I think the pictures turned out great.  Hope you enjoy them!

Farmers Market

Washington, D.C. has many farmers markets.  So many, in fact, that even the USDA has one!

This particular farmers market is held on the street that is right between the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery and the National Archives!  Only in D.C.!

I loved photographing this.  It was interesting and fun.  The picture of the soap is one of my all-time favorites.
