A wild and funky colored place, wild Rhubarb growing in the front and turf and stones forming the side of the old house, then a traditional turf style building masquerading as a tiny church. There are LOTS of turf covered buildings to be seen in Iceland… I guess it helps keep things warm in the Winter!

So for today’s adventures, DH and I headed off to the mountains to check out the Fiber Fair up by Asheville. Always wondrous textures, colors and lovely things that NEED to come home! – I snagged a fancy new scarf, a funky sheep creature who has been called Sheila (sorry Sheila) and of course a new Pottery Mug for my collection…. pix tomorrow perhaps…. of the acquired treasures… The best snaps were had out by the “Barn” where the “Sheep Show” was in progress and various Alpacas were strutting their stuff. First time ever to see a Cowboy with an Alpaca on a leash… but I guess there is a FIRST for everything…. I refrained from buying any new wool to knit, roving to spin or other sundry fleecy goodness, but now for sure I have a hankering to get my spinning wheel out and have at it…….. I still have almost a whole fleece left to clean and spin from the last time I visited this event and that would be QUITE a few years ago…. hmmmmmm a good winter project maybe? …..If only I knew where said fleece was stashed….. Lucy you.I can smell that lovely fleece smell from here.Great pictures.OXOX M Another batch of beautiful photos, you always manage to capture the mood of the moments. Great shots! I particularly love the last two. So good.
What a fun looking event. I enjoyed your Ren Fair photos; it’s been a long time since I went to one!
Photography is the best motivator! Love the colors! Such vibrant colors!
I could photograph this lovely lady all day long, any day of the week…. The lovely Viktoria…. Lovely, sensitive work… Fantastic! How lovely! It’s so cool to have your own model/muse. |

Super sun-shinny day, one of those wonderful Autumn days that we are blessed with here in the Carlolinas. Sadly not so great for photography as they make for too bright highlights and lots of shadows…. however a few good pix snapped at the day out at the Carolina Renaissance Faire… even if the photos are a bit hit and miss, the beer is really good and it’s fun to just be out and about! Not so many fairies this year, perhaps just not the right day for them but I did catch up with my lovely model Susan Bodnar who works the festival as a Regal being, along with her Greyhound dogs…
Joanne Thieme Huffman - Perfect title for your post of two beautiful photos – love the sharpness and intensity of the colors, as well as the character of the buildings.
