One of my favorite things to do at faires and festivals is to people-watch. I love seeing all the different faces. I have a few of my favorite people shots enjoying this year’s Festival of Nations! So, be sure to scroll – there’s several pictures in this post! Here’s a fellow enjoying some of the […]

So, last weekend, The Hubs and I went to one of our favorite festivals of the season – the Festival of Nations at Tower Grove Park here in St. Louis. So, I’m kicking off this week with several pictures of the awesome crowds and sights this event brings in annually! Sit back. I’ve got several pictures for […]
It’s been a successful week in my house already! And it’s only Monday! First off, I submitted and was accepted into MySLArt.org‘s ’33September’ juried art exhibition hosted by The Old Orchard Gallery! This show, I did a quadtych of black & white abstracts! These are the pictures I’m submitting! And, while I’m busy preparing for the art […]
OK, before we leave the Scots area of the St. Louis Renaissance Faire, I had to share the portrait I took of this glorious gentleman! He’s just perfect, isn’t he? I would say “like he stepped off the set of Braveheart,” but he’s obviously more authentic than they were in that movie! LOL I loved […]
Another of my favorite pictures I’ve taken at the St. Louis Renaissance Faire this season is this one of two adorable little girls, playing their recorders near the wooden bridge into the Scots area of the faire. Although you could imagine these two darling girls are right out of the pages of a Scottish history book, […]
OK, I have to admit, I was really happy with how these two pictures turned out, from a composition standpoint. They remind me of some of the paintings from the Renaissance of village festivities or villagers going about their days. I love the look of concern on the one man’s face on the right. And […]
I am posting all the photos I take of the St. Louis Renaissance Festival in my Shona Skye Facebook album, but I’m might share one or two individually here, if I especially like them. Like this one… This is my friend, Jen, one of the brilliantly talented dancers with Chuvani Bellydance, who perform at the […]
So, as any long-time follower probably knows, my family is a bit daft for our local Renaissance Faire held here every year. This year, it’s expanded to five weekends, though, which is awesome! Whereas I worked the entire Faire last year as a vendor, this year, I’m back to being just emergency help, so I’m […]
So, a friend of ours, this really cool dude named Craig, who’s the drummer and musician for Chuvani Bellydance & Sheherazade Drums, also has another hobby – he races RC cars! I had no experience with them, beyond buying a Fisher-Price one for my boys when they were itty bitty. Anyway, Craig invited us to […]
This past March, I was accepted into MySLArt’s “33March” Juried art show at The Old Orchard Gallery. After the opening reception, The Hubs and I went to get a late night cup of coffee and I snapped this “portrait” of him at the diner. With that skull ring he likes to wear, I jokingly called […]
