So Fl Renaissance Fair

Christine — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 15:15:33 +0000

Yes, we have one, too.

and it’s a great place for taking photos.

Here’s the youngest (that I know of) in the performing group. She’s 18 months old and I think her name is Lilly.

There was an entire fleet of fairies at the fair (that makes sense, doesn’t it?)

(or is she a faun? confusing because she has wings, but she also has horns.)

other (types of) ladies were there, too.

What else? Let’s see. A falconer,

Mistress Mary,

Someone who dressed up for the occasion (a time traveler, perhaps?), and

B, who came to take photos, too.

Cracker Parade 2011

At the end of every Cracker Trail Ride, there’s a parade in Fort Pierce. At least, this year, I made the parade. Would like to have caught up with the group as the horses and riders made their way across the state. Maybe next year.

Florida Cracker Cowmen got their name because they cracked their long whips to herd up the cattle.

The Florida Cracker Association takes to the trail annually, and camps at ranches along the way…

Appeared they had a fine time, ending up at the bar, horses and all.

For more photos, you can go my christine davis site or the mean old bitch site.

Street Painting Festival 2011

I love this fair. And, since I live less than a block away, I can walk down and follow its progression. Wish Lake Worth did more of this kind of thing. The only festival I have loved better was the Luggage fair in San Francisco, an unbelievable conglomeration of street performers and acrobats who were walking up and down the sides of buildings…

Anyway, I digress. Here are photos from this year’s Lake Worth festival (and for more photos, go to my christine davis site.

Delray Beach

Delray Beach, just a few miles to the south of Lake Worth, has lots of fun events during the season. We took a Saturday off last week and visited one of its art festivals. It was a beautiful sunny day and a pleasant way to spend a relaxing afternoon.

After strolling around and people watching, we had drinks at the Sundy House and enjoyed its lovely gardens, stuck our feet in its natural swimming pool, complete with fish, said “hello” to the resident parrot and wandered around its meandering paths. http://www.sundyhouse.com

In January, Fotofusion comes back to Delray Beach. The Palm Beach Photographic Centre hosts this annual event for photographers – it’s one of my favorites.

Delray Beach, like Lake Worth, has Evenings on the Avenue and a weekly green market. One of my guests staying at my vacation rental is coming down this January to take part in the Annual Poetry Festival.

The Rodeo

A day at the Rodeo

Cowboys in Florida are called Cracker cow hunters. Want a taste of the Old West? Just head to Okeechobee! Just west of Lake Worth, and about an hour away, we had a very nice day trip, took photos of the rodeo and the carnival. For dinner, we stopped in Indiantown. Unfortunately, we did not see Miss Ida…

It’s coming up — check it out — March 15.
