Finally got around to finishing up what I think is everything remotely worth putting in my '09 set.

Aye, I must have missed this post. Nice shots! How did you like Ray's Birds of Prey show? I know it's not a joust but I seem to enjoy watching him work his birds more than any other performance at the faire. Dunno why...

I love that show!   And I'm so ticked because I missed the owl EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.  I always managed to wander over halfway through Ray's show.  He's phenomenal.  Puts on a heck of a show, knows his birds, and makes the history of falconry exceptionally interesting.

Ray told me he only lets the owl out at the morning show because he/she is temperamental.

Thank you, m'lady.  It is with no small amount of honesty* that I say that some of my absolute favorite shots this year were of thee.

Are you still sick?

Whatever this is, I picked it up Sunday.  I'm becoming some sort of viral incubator of late.  And there could not have been a single worse week of the year to get sick.  I am absolutely slammed at work.
