Certainly one of the most colorful vendors at The Olympia Wooden Boat Fair this weekend in downtown Olympia.

    Never mind the hats, I see some rugs and sling bags that look absolutely fantastic!

    such a colorful photo and looks like fun to dig through his wares. I am glad you enjoyed the Phoenician resort series. I have started a week of cool marco images. I hope all is well. We have been working far too much lately

    Nice brilliant colors! I love the way you captured the vendor mimicking the subjects on the tapestries below him - with the hat and his hand to his mouth. Very interesting! :)

    Nice shot, Don! I want one of those yellow T-shirts. And maybe a fedora.

    What did you buy?

    I noticed the same thing as Yolanda. I normally never buy thing at markets but it looks like he has a few interesting items for sale here.

    Yolanda and Steffe, great comments. Don and Krise, great photo. I love South American woven things. I have a couple of small tapestries somewhat in the style of the yellow one, but white.

    This guy sells outside the library at Evergreen sometimes and he is so sweet! I used to stop and say hi sometimes. He always recognized me and would chat for a while. :)

    Great blog by the way! I'm new to it, but loving all the pictures.
