The bare bones of a traditional
Renaissance Festival
The difference between reliving experiences or reading about life from centuries long ago will determine, what's spectacular to you about a Renaissance Festival. You always benefit from moving outside of your imagination zones and stepping into reality.

There are those fair goers unfamiliar to the morning,
but rarely, are those that have never
experienced a lingering
afternoon at the fair.

AFTERNOON

A lovely afternoon-

See, you can sing and smile simultaneously.
Collecting flashes of sudden smiles here and there-
Accidental genius I'd say.
Laughter makes the heart merry!
There's something truly inviting about the smell of a bonfire.

LESS IS MORE
Realistically, not everything will be obtained in one day.
Just another reason we return again and again.

Spot the Gnome? They're everywhere.

Great atmosphere you have captured in the shots adn I like a lot of the quotes as well. it is all very colourful and I am sure great fun, You illustrated the words well. I did see the Gnome, he was very small, must have been one of out 'little people' visiting you from Ireland! Have a great week ahead.
Looks like a fun time!

What fun! Festivals with ferries, you bet I'd tag along in a heartbeat. I love your shots, brings the festival to life for me on this end. And I do believe I'll heed this wonderful advice: "Spend the afternoon, you can't take it with you."
Have a blessed phenomenal week Karen! Cheers.
LOVE those human butterflies!
Margaret- We actually were at the Renaissance just yesterday, of this year! They only have one more weekend left for this season!
An enchanted place! So much fun to be had and imaginations to be explored!

Love your scavenging.

Fun shots of the fair.
Lovely photos - it certainly looks like quite an event.
I always love how you combine your own words, quotes and wonderful photos to tell a story and this is no exception. The post reminds me of taking the kids to the Ren. Fests when they were young. It might be time to do that again!
Thanks for your visits recently and wonderful comments. I'd reply directly if I could but for know know how much they are valued!
