Great pictures both of you....I'll get mine up soon.

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).

Well done, My Lady, well done indeed!
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.
Here is the link for the one time i was able to do some shooting. for some reason not getting into it as much this year...sorry
Well you will see the good shots the bad shots and the ugly shots.

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.
October?? You and Ian coming to RenDezvous???

Those include some from the amazing sword school ...
Enjoy! ;D
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.
Yes please!
Pop into chat sometime....I am there now

It would be good to see you and Nim again. I'll drink some scotch for you Saturday while I'm there.

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!
This year i haven't gotten so into the photo thing as i have in the past. Not sure why hopefully i pop out of this funk soon.
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.
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.

Well done, Radu! Well done, indeed!!
Third and fourth weekend photos are now posted ... enjoy.

Brilliant Blushing!
You caught me trying to get the sweat on my upper lip off, but I was not quick enough.
Thank you for these.
Surrey
Beautifull pictures Blushing!
Real nice, Blushing. It was nice seeing you. Also glad all is well with your home.
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!
Ah Blushing... you tease me so with the captures of your lovely shire. 2 years in a row I enjoyed the hospitality of the CORF family and it saddens me to miss it this year.
Sending hugs to all.

Sorry that most of my pictures are of the cat show but i am one of the bouncers for the show.

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

GREAT photos, as usual, Blushing. Sincere thanks for capturing so many wonderful memories!
My goodness, hard to believe that the faire is about to be in its 6th week. How time flies. (I'll be there this Sunday [and NOT working, I promise this time], by the by.)
Such lovely photos, Blushing, I knew I could count on you when I wanted to tell and show folks about the new Satyr, Raven, and isn't it nice to have Phoenix back, up at the Mad Mongol's Sword Tent? Thank you for the kind pictures of me, and I'm glad I didn't break your camera!

I'm still working on my photos from weekend six, but in the meantime, another photographer grabbed some shots on Sunday:

Zoe, you're recognize several faces!
Some of your best shots yet, Blushing! Many, many thanks!
;D Awww, blush.
I'm hoping to get seventh weekend up this week as well ... I'm going to try, at least!
They're very nice, your composition is really improving. Both of us need to work on our illumination.
Final weekend photos...

Until next we meet in the shire, safe travels!
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.
Schaumburg
I will get my photo's out, I promised Blushing...A dear friend so they will be forthcoming...and to Blushing...my deepest thanks for my friend Blushing...the best friend I have at Larkspurshire...my home away from home.

Thank you for the kind words, your Grace. I look forward to meeting you and the Countess at the old Spanish fort seven weeks hence. Until then, safe travels.

I do love all your work--thanks to everyone who shared their photos! I didn't have a chance to take many myself.
Best!
