We made 9-News and the Countess is on the cover (if there is such a thing as a cover on a rolling slide show).

Where is Capt Spleen?? Don't hear much out of him anymore....

I really want to make another trip out there to CoRF! We had such a great time last year.

Spleen has not made an appearance thus far this season.  I suspect that he is heavily engaged in the mundanian wars.

Thank you for the wonderful pictures everyone.  It will be next summer before I get to be there in person so I am living vicariously through others.

Thanks for the picture of Ian, Blushing.  I look forward to meeting as many of you as I can when I am there in October.

Sorry Merlin....I will not be able to make Rendezvous again this year since I will be going to meet Ian in Colorado mid October.  Maybe you have a spell to cast for us?....one to make the time pass more quickly until we get to see each other please.

I really wish that I could meet you and yours as well but I can only get two weeks this year and they are already spoken for.

If all goes well, as I expect it to, the tentative plan is for me to go back to Colorado next summer to be able to go to faire with Ian.  Lady Jessica is also talking about coming from Texas to meet us at faire then too.

Then, we may have to as well. It would be good to see Ian again, and perhaps spend a little more time in the Rockies.

Lovely pictures, Blushing, and so nice to see these to all of you!  I met a nice patron who's a VERY serious photographer who gave me his card with this link:

http://waite.smugmug.com/ (http://waite.smugmug.com/)

Some quite good shots of Twig, Flourish, the Mayor's Son, and a HUNGRY Fireflicker!

Best!

Aye...do that, lad! I am finding that there actually are some Scotches that I can enjoy. The only problem is that my tastes are rather expensive in that regard!

To all my photography friends or anyone that takes pictures of the cat show at the renfaire. The people that are trying to petition to get rid of the cat show are using peoples photographs without thier permission to further thier agenda.
Title: Re: Colorado photo thread for 2012
Post by: Francisco Paula on July 02, 2012, 01:20:19 PM
Here is a link to one of the sites http://www.animalactionnetwork.org/Big_Cats_Initiative.html it has 5 pictures from the show last year, thing is the lady has admitted to the newspaper she has never seen the show.

So please check and make sure she isn't using your picture without your permission.

Thank you

The lady in question has been contacted and called out, challenged to prove *any* of her allegations.  She was called out in a personal email and publicly on her page, which was linked to facebook.  After 3 (i think) different photographers contacted her and threatened lawsuits, the photos magically vanished off her page.  Additionally, rather than reply to the facebook challenges which took each of her accusations apart and showed where she was mistaken, intentionally misleading individuals with biased reporting, or just outright lying, the link to the facebook discussion was also removed.  Odd that.  We'll be keeping an eye on her, and if anyone stumbles across other sites of protest using photos, let us know so we can look into it.

Are you coming to Minnesota this year?

Thank you!

Gauwyn: I would like to visit Minnesota ... but I might end up putting ALL of my fun funds into a computer that can actually keep up with my photo editing ... so we will see.

Earl of Surrey - So that's what you were doing ... I just liked the look!

Sending hugs to all.

WOW! Awesome shots, Francisco! Those are such beautiful animals! There's at least a couple that he didn't have last year.  I also liked the cat with the stripes down the legs...the one juggling bowling pins...  :P

CRS,

Your portraits of closing weekend nearly brought tears to mine eyes.  Your portraits of us capture perfectly the joy the Baroness and I find in Larspurshire. We will view them many times during the cold months to warm our souls as we await the 2013 season.

Many thanks, my friend.
