Strum

Today after church, we went with friends for brunch at Heartwood, an area gallery for fine arts, crafts and music, featuring Virginia artisans. Handmade traditional instruments are one of the many skilled crafts represented. This is a close-up of one of the banjos. The showcase light created a neat shadow. We were treated to live Southern Gospel music during brunch.
