Travel Photo Thursday: Working Hands

Bayeux, Destinations, France, Ohio, Photos, Tennessee, United States, , , , , , ,

In looking back through my pictures, I find that I am fascinated by the people who make things. I often snap the hands of craftsmen and women–no matter what their craft may be. Here are three up close and personal from Bayeux France, Chattanooga Tennessee, and Mansfield Ohio.

Wanted you to know that I have a few guest posts floating around the web.

Travel Wonders of the World features my awe on seeing the  The Bayeux Tapestry and several of my photographs from Bayeux.

Your Life Is A Trip, I talk about an experience I had at a pueblo, while gathering material for Quincy Tahoma: The Life and Legacy of a Navajo Artist.

At Wandering Educators, I repeated the conversation about the Perfect French Movie, and I’m hoping we will get more recommendations from their readers.

At Mothering.com, I wrote a non-travel article about a book about peanut allergies, the Pesky Peanut. Food allergies are a problem for a growing number of children–a problem shared by two of my grandchildren.

Back in December, I got the help of the tourism office in Bayeux to make this list of things to do in Bayeux, France, for Nancy D. Brown’s What a Trip blog.

Even longer ago–in October– I wrote about Normandy and Bayeux for My Itchy Travel Feet.
