Austin plays the trombone

Driving on a back road of the Eastern Shore this weekend I was passing some homes when I noticed a boy playing the trombone in the middle of a front yard. "That's great," I thought. "His family has kicked him outside because of the noise!" (Having played trumpet in elementary school, I have some knowledge of these things.)

I turned around and went back and introduced myself to the boy, and to his Mom. He said, and she confirmed, that he was playing outside because he liked it out there. So much for my theory. In any case, he played the solo he was practicing while I took a few photos.
