I love the book series, "A Game of Thrones". I also love Tolkien....and Star Trek.....and BSG.....Assassin's Creed....Batman.....well you get the idea:) I'm a nerd. My father recently came to visit us in sunny Arizona and we took him to the very fun Renaissance Faire!
I love artsy photography and my Dad loves beer. Well he is from Wisconsin:) And so it made for a perfect day!
During the day, we went to a variety of shows and it was so much fun hanging out with my Dad and getting lost in make believe.
Of course, I love them birds. They had a great Birds of Prey show and I decided to get some wonderful shots of these beautiful creatures. Peregrine Falcons are around Tucson often, but this Swainson's Hawk will be returning soon. I have yet to see one of these gorgeous hawks in the wild!!! I cannot wait:)
I saw this man craft his pottery.....
This man tell jokes......
My father have a good laugh with the priest telling dirty jokes.....
This young woman's natural beauty and wit.....
This Peregine Falcon's catlike curiousity.......
This woman's magical interpretation of peace and tranquility.....
This lady giving fashion advice for those needing some....
And while we were there, I forgot about time and had a great day with my Dad and Pat.
The
Renaissance Faire happens every weekend until the end of March. Buy your tickets at Fry's as they are cheaper. Parking is free. It's a fun road trip for the day with some beautiful landscape. And our wildflower season has just begun......
