2. I always loved the Renassaince Faire.

Is this the one held north of Houston? (I forget where exactly.) The pictures are so nice, makes me wish I was there.

6. Oh, you do love them, don't you!

The Texas Ren. Faire is the one I always went to when I lived in Houston....I remember it was October/November, because we learned not to go early weekends and to wait for late Oct. or Nov. because it was too danged hot when we went early. I always had such fun there. You must enjoy it to travel that far, and if I remember correctly, it was rather expensive to get in and to eat there.

I still have a hair wreath with long ribbons from the first one I went to decorating a wall. Your pictures make me miss the fun.

3. Sharp and oh so beautiful.

You're going to love this camera I can tell, the quality is awe inspiring.
Now I'll go look it up.
Thanks.

5. Nice shots

And a good camera choice. Sony is really proving itself as one of the most innovative players in the camera industry. I got to play with the new a7 for an afternoon this past Monday and it's really a game changer.

8. In the last picture, I like the lady's twin cones hat,

which, for some reason, reminds me of Madonna.

9. The third picture . . .

. . . reminded me that I need to watch the two seasons of "Game of Thrones" that I have on iTunes again.

10. What is surprising to me

is that they are not all carrying six-shooters!
WTF- It's Texass!

11. Concealed handgun laws--

it makes us look a lot more civilized when we are not.
