If there were such a thing as perfect weather for a faire, I do believe this past weekend did approach the mark. And... given the glorious days, just as last year, I fear I did not take nearly as many images because I was enjoying the weekend. Some grand things were witnessed this past weekend, including a spectacular display of yeoman. Her Majesty's guard from the Tower of London came to the shire of Bristol and stood upon inspection. Morth Ragbone made an appearance at Sunday's Court of Common Pleas in order to collect upon a debt. It appears Sir Edward Coke did strike a bargain in the fashion of Daniel Webster in order to gain his positon of Attorney General of Her Majesty. Fortunately for Sir Edward, Ebineezer and *gasp* Captain Cutter saved his soul. Down at the noble's glade, the Tuscan Ambassador brought gifts from his homeland to bestow upon Queen Elizabeth. And, this weekend, marks the turning point of the faire, with less days of Bristol left this season, rather than more.

For information regarding the faire, check out the Bristol Renaissance Faire's Official Website.

The pictures on this page were initially captured at a resolution of 2048 x 1536. Though they are presented by Robyn's Roost at a maximum of 640 x 480, the larger image files can be supplied for prints (does a great job at 8x10 and larger) or other things. For those I have captured a picture of, I'd be happy to supply prints via mail or other exchange for the cost of materials (printed off of an HP-970Cse). This service, of course, is intended to supply a copy of the images to the subject of the picture. Distribution for any other use (in any media format), common sense dictates, will need to be okayed by faire management and/or the subject(s) of the picture.
