We’re returning to New Mexico this week, the subject of V is for View, with this photo taken two summers ago.
When we stay with my sister, one of our weekly visits is to her local Farmer’s Market.
It’s a fabulous market, with every imaginable kind of chilli, including the fire roasted hatch chillis that I love! It is full of colour and amazing smells, and really is a must-do.
One week, a group of musicians were there too, playing beautiful wooden xylophones. They very kindly let the boys play, and it was one of the highlights of our day :)
What fun! I love the smooth edges of each of the wooden blocks (?). And what enthusiastic playing. I wonder if you will see the band again. #AlphabePhoto
It was great fun! I also wonder if we’ll see the band again :)
Sounds like a great place can i come mext time lol
It is a great place, somewhere I love to visit :)
That’s such a joyful photograph!
Thank you!
Such a gorgeous photo… here’s hoping they’re allowed to play this time around too x
I hope we see them again, although it might be awhile before we’re there again x
That’s an amazing xylophone, it looks so tactile too
It’s beautiful, isn’t it?
Love the enthusiasm. And I just want to stroke the xylophone…
It does look very touchable, doesn’t it :)
I’m a big advocate for exploring music, playing music and learning music, so much so that I’ve considered starting a blog linky based around music. That photo jumped straight out at me. We have two xylophones – one is just one octave, but perfectly tuned. One is a cheap M&S xylo which is out of tune, but creates a pleasant sound. Ours are nothing compared to this fine specimen! I bet it sounded awesome! Lucky boy…
By the way, was brilliant to meet you, Sara (especially as I now know that I was getting the pronunciation of your name correct!). xx
My oldest now plays the clarinet and we inherited a piano when we moved house (which badly needs tuned!). I agree that music is a really important thing in childhood. These musicians had two of these beautiful xylophones, and we heard them play. It was amazing!
Lovely to meet you too!
What amazing fun and look at the size of it! I used to love playing ours in school :) Jess x
It was a really beautiful instrument, they actually had two :)
Lovely photo! Sounds like great fun!
It was :)
Ah lovely photo Sara he looks like he is having so much fun, I love how kids just get lost in musical instruments x
They had a great time trying them out :)
This sounds like a beautiful farmers market and how lucky are you that you get to go back this year. Great shot of your boy, he looks likes he’s having a great time. Thanks for linking up to #MyCapturedMoment xx
He did have a great time, it’s a lovely place to visit, but the musicians were an added bonus this time!
