I am finally getting around to sharing more of the images I took at the Renaissance Faire a couple of weeks ago. Time sure flies I can’t believe two weeks have passed already!

The Dicken’s Fair

I had the pleasure of spending the day with several friends at the Dickens Fair in Daly City, CA yesterday. We arrived when it opened and stayed until closing time.
The Chimney Sweep above is one of the first characters we saw after we checked in our coats, and umbrellas. He and his colleague were very funny, friendly, and lovely.
Isn’t his costume terrific!
The two gents below were in a Portrait studio having their photo taken when I spied them through the window. They didn’t smile for the camera back then.
There were plenty of shops carrying Art, crafts, and wares throughout the streets of Dickens London…Whispers from the Past,
Nutcrackers,
Glitz and Glamor-High fashion
Undergarments… These are Live Mannequins. Each lady posed for 30 minutes then was replaced by a new live mannequin.
…and a Food & Drink. At the Pub of course!
It was a lovely way to spend a rainy, and windy Saturday. The shows were all beautifully performed and were hilarious. I have a lot more photos to go through, and more keepers than I thought I’d have. The venue was very poorly lit from a photographers point of view, and made it quite challenging getting a sharp, well-lit photo.
If you haven’t been to the Dickens Fair I recommend it. I have to thank my friend May for getting a group of us together to go. Thanks May! ( I hope you can see May’s Dickens Fair photos, they’re really good. Click the link! )

He was a drummer/musician at the West Valley 25th Annual Pow Wow. I wish I knew more about him. I didn’t have a chance to talk to him. He was resplendent, ominous, and intriging, and I had a dozen questions in my mind I wanted to ask him.

Way back in May a friend and I went to the famous Frog Jumping Fair in Angel’s Camp, California.
The frogs need a bit of coaxing.
The judge encourages the contestants to “give em a little tickle on the bum.”
A lot of the time the frogs would jump backwards toward the shade and the pond they were so rudely pulled out of to come be the star of the show!
I didn’t do too well shooting the frogs in the air. I wasn’t as skilled as I would like to be anticipating where they would jump… when they did jump. I hope I get the opportunity to go again. It’s silly, and a lot of fun to watch.
