We didn't get to the Northern California Renaissance Faire at
Casa de Fruta this year and had to fulfill our yearning for a stroll through
history so we went to Folsom for our journey through time and space...
 In
the car and looking forward to the day and the adventure |
 The
parking brake works |
 She
was the first lady I came to as we entered |
 |
 Marilyn
and John |
 Hand
catapults and trebuchets |
 |
 Sally
and I wear medallions made on their "Drop Hammer Coin Mint" |
 The
Drop Hammer Coin Mint |
 I
just love her hair |
 |
 Very
pretty |
 Free
hugs |
 And
a delightful tip "jar" |
 This
fine lady is demonstrating her spinning wheel for these visitors |
 A
close inspection will reveal that the furry pet is stuffed |
 A
very nice smile |
 |
 (The
travelocity gnome?) |
 |
 All
sorts of wonderful victuals |
 Belly
dancers |
 A
pair of very large rocking horses |
 The
lady on the left has apparently just participated in a wet bodice contest |
 The
Dauntless has run aground |
 They've
come to watch the joust |
 As
have we |
 The
emcee |
 The
contest |
 They
left their handbag at the joust but we were able to return it to them |
 |
 Such
a lucky tree |
 The
concourse |
 Modern
weaponry |
 A
family gathering |
 |
 |
 |
 The
ladies appear to be manifesting obeisance to their lord liege |
 |
 |
 |
 A
damsel with her own blade |
 The
court |
 This
lady was showing a prospective customer the finer points of her gossamer |
 |
 We
especially liked this show |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 I
had to include this picture |
 The
young juggler was very skilled and the audience was very appreciative |
 |
 |
 Trying
her own gossamer, in black. She also has a wonderful smile but regrettably
that image was not in
focus... |
 |
 |
 |
 The
Naughty Minstrels |
 |
 |
 Marilyn
loves dragons |
 |
 |
 The
King and Queen of the Faire |
 |
|
 I
was able to make the town crier stop crying and laugh... |
