My friend V said let’s go to the Renaissance Festival. She’d been with her niece more than a decade ago and they’d enjoyed it so much they went the next year. She saw it on the news.
We looked it up in the paper, got the details and set out for a fun Sunday, the last day before the students start school!
It was like taking a trip back in time. And a good photo opportunity.
Too bad I left my camera battery charging in the wall at home so I couldn’t use my camera. Yep. A cell phone captured the day.
This nice festival goer said that the festival is a break from his mundane reality,
Looks like a fun time, Ruth. I bet the kids in attendance had a good time. 🙂
Wow! 🙂
Nothing wrong with your cell phone pics, Ruth. I love the one of the little girl with the unicorn. 🙂
you have some great photos! it’s amazing how one can use a phone as a backup camera! thanks for letting us peer over your shoulder.. those pretzels look so good!

Seems everyone was having a good time – players and visitors. Have a great school year Ruth E
Looks like a lot of fun looking at the “olden” days. Love that BIG bubble. Nice to enjoy a day before going back to the grind of kids & teaching. Have a great year!!
Are cellphone camera’s great or what?
I went earlier this year to a Rennaisance Faire too. It was fun. I like the costumes people wear & the various treasures for sale along the way.
I really like the bubbles and boots. One thing I so adore about your photography is that you capture life and the funness (is that a word)!!!!
I think funness is a great word. Thanks Cee!
Loved all the cell phone shots. Looks like it was a fun day for everyone!!
My daughter would love to be part of this festival, Ruth. She loves dressing up and corsets 🙂 I’m in love with the fairy and the unicorn (especially the unicorn 🙂 )
We have a Renaissance Festival here, too. I like your pictures of the pretzel vendor (and the loom artist). The food “specialty” at our fair are huge turkey legs. [Here’s an example: http://media.dfw.com/smedia/2012/04/25/07/41/WZXy8.St.117.jpg%5D

They had them there but I didn’t get a shot. Good one Stef!
