A bit of humor

A vetran of the War of roses.



Trouble.



A message from the merchants.

Birds of Prey

This booth was hosted by a local Birds of Prey rescue. I was still getting used to my portrait lens, so the images are a bit too soft due to too slow a shutter speed.

Pirates

Along with the usual medieval theme you'd expect at a Ren Faire, there was a strong fantasy and pirate presence. At one point we ran into a recreation of the pirate ship crew from Pirates of the Caribbean. The costumes were incredible and they started singing a pirate's life for me....

Combat

The live combat demonstrations looked pretty realistic. The look on the knight's face, in the last shot, seemed to show real concern.

Hanging out

Endless people watching. A large portion of the attendees wore some sort of custume.

Jester

I got two photos of this juggler/jester. Can't decide which one I like best. I like each for different reasons. There is something about her eyes that makes the shot.

Beasts - real and mythical

My second installment from the Colorado Renaissance Faire - the many creatures in attendance.

Colorado Renaissance Festival

Went to the Colorado Renaissance Festival this last weekend. Had no idea what a big production it was. Permanent structures, rides, animals, live music, belly dancers, and actors setting the mood.







Took lots of photos. Will post them over the coming week.
