Heading down the home stretch

The car’s that-away. Yes, my dear wife Karen and I planned our walk at the Syracuse Arts and Crafts Festival perfectly. The beautiful tree-lined street the opposite way of our grand entrance awaited us perfectly.

Blue sky, too

Fine blend. The blue sky and white clouds like fine behind the buildings and tents, to my eye as my dear wife Karen and I take this street during the Syracuse Arts and Crafts Festival.

Love, too

That’s the vibe. Peace, love and understanding. That’s the vibe I’ll take in a downtown stroll, any day, any time. The Syracuse Arts and Crafts Festival puts out the banner.

Back at you

Peace, bro. Sometimes somebody notices me noticing them. This artisan at the Syracuse Arts and Crafts Festival flashed the peace sign at my iPhone. Truth be known, it was the juxtaposition of the two tones of red brick buildings in front of the higher gray office building to the right of the black Trittello sign…

Walking and noticing stuff

We have a skyline. Of course my eyes go back, forth, up and down as I walk the blocks of the Syracuse Arts and Crafts Festival with my dear wife Karen. Interesting scenes come from people, trees, buildings and the combination of all.

Gallery worthy at your feet

Through this lens. You never know what might turn up on the ground during Chalk Jam. The streets of downtown Syracuse certainly are better because of this annual festivity that adjoins the Arts and Crafts Festival. My dear wife Karen and I appreciated the artists and their work. Flags, many. Starting tomorrow you’ll see what…

Chalk it up to devoted artists

So real. My dear wife Karen and I made sure we took our now annual walk around the downtown blocks that host the Syracuse Arts and Crafts Festival and adjoining Chalk Jam. I think you can tell the sidewalks made for an excellent canvas for colorful art. So many styles. The roads held the colors,…

We’ll take a sunflower imprint

Nearing the end of our Syracuse Arts and Crafts Festival stroll, my dear wife Karen and I were excited to come upon the artisan who sold us the piece we purchased for our backyard bird bath. This year we brought home a concrete piece imprinted with sunflowers. How lovely for our backyard. Again.

Keep the creativity going

I was excited to see the folks who put on the Syracuse Arts and Crafts Festival set up a special spot for the new generation to practice their creativity, too. This helps ensure festivals in the decades to come.
