Enjoyed a great weekend at Pyrate Weekend at the Faire. Nature was kind, breaking a heatwave and bringing overcast clouds. Which is good since the weekend was chock full of activities. Wild scavenger hunts, wondrous acrobats, tragic stories, a celebration of the 1000th birthday of a very infamous Scottish figure and of course plenty of pirates.

The previous description and all these wonderful images are brought to you by Frank Hui. Because of his devotion, I have nothing to add. --Robyn Sotherby

Kids don't try this at home!	I really liked her garb. perfect for this weekend	He's certainly no landlubber	Master Tallus allowing my friend Paul to try out his virginal
Busy hands at the juggling school	Of course the Corsairs are here to help celebrate the weekend	Master Wetherby's friend is also into the theme	Our wool merchant was hoodwinked away from greeting the king
Perhaps the handy work of a certain lawman	The Pirate Queen makes a dramatic entrance	Her mates are ready to storm the faire. They sailed here courtesy of...	Seymour J Seymour cousin to the Queen
