A Beautiful Day at the Folklife Festival
The Blue Ridge Folklife Festival at Ferrum College in Franklin County is always an event to anticipate if for no other reason than to watch the draft horses working, the mules jumping or the hounds chasing a dead raccoon across a large pond.
It is also a great place to watch people watching analog machinery (some of it steam-driven) performing tasks best assigned to the 19th Century.
It is also one of the fun places to shoot photos of people (redheads, especially) and things (tools, food, tack, tractors, and a bunch of other stuff.
My good friend Susan and I haunted the grounds at the Blue Ridge Institute on the Ferrum campus Saturday and here's some of what it looked like.

Wonderful colorful festival photos of people, animals and big toys :)
