Reenactors!!!
I wasn't really too familiar with the term before I moved to Virginia. But around here, historical reenactors (or re-enactors if you prefer) are everywhere. Many museums and historical sites have them. Civil War and Revolutionary War battle recreations abound with them. And of course, places like Colonial Williamsburg and Jamestown are fully stocked with hundreds of very authentic-looking reenactors. These are a few shots we took during a visit to Williamsburg a few years ago.

In the saddle maker's shop.
Colonial carpenter.
In the printer's establishment.
At the book bindery.
A reenactor bringing history to life.
And sometimes, even the visitors get into the act.

I searched through my photos, and the only "X"s I found were in this shot taken in a local garden center. I'm not a gardener, but I find other people's gardens eXtremely enjoyable.
