I do love to go places where there are lots of things to see and do and especially when there are great scenes for photos that may serve as reference photos for paintings. Yesterday I spent at day at Chincoteague and Assateague Islands taking LOTS of photos. There was a really neat “Artful Flea” event where many local artist sold their wares at the Farmer’s Market. I saw many nice pieces of art and crafts. My favorite was the decorated Flamingos that were for sale to benefit a local scholarship fund. Really cute and fun. Then off to the lighthouse for photos and a drive around Assateague to take wildlife photos.
