This young Basque woman was working on a mural over near Smith’s grocery store. After a quick shopping trip inside, I mounted the Fujinon 70-300mm on the X-T5 and walked over to work the scene.

A few evenings ago I drove up to Juan’s Mexican Diner for a taco and a beer. On my way home I remembered I wanted some ranch beans, so I stopped by the Smith’s grocery store on my way home. As I pulled in to the lot, I noticed two artists working on a mural.

My quick shopping stop done, I mounted the Fujinon 70-300mm zoom on my X-T5 and walked over to work the scene. I came away with a few nice captures and will share a few.

I also had a nice visit with this young Basque woman and offered to send a couple of captures.

It was a good day, a good outing, and I am grateful. Life is good.
