Once again my favorite time of the year has come and gone: that of our wonderful KVMR Celtic Fest, with our own own little FaeryWood, here under the tall whispering pines of Nevada County. I've a site where I've put up some 290 images, but I've put a up a few here too for your perusal, with just a few showing below.

Sebastian & Sasha, of Eden River Arts, and the faery troop dance...
...more faery smiles upon the green, while Sasha takes a bow.
The faeries, including a Satyr and Ent, parade about, while Merloch entertains both kids and us big kids.
Kristy the mermaid flips her tail to a little ones delight, while Scottish throwers compete on the grass nearby.
Faery love in FaeryWood just behind the Labyrinth, while a young lady pauses, adorned in fine clothing and Sunlight.
A rescued owl strengthens the cause, while a Satyr leads on.
A gorgeous smile attracts the lens, while a Vulcan elf signals LL&P.
A row of fine weapons catches the eye, while a warrior contemplates.
A young lasse gets the face paint, while Doogie McLean latches onto a couple of the resident faeries.
The Reel Stepsisters dance away, then Dervish performs.
Obsidian Butterfly swings fire late into the night, as faeries snuggle in for the night in FaeryWood. ★★★ I hope you can make it here next year! :^)

I took this photo of Merloch Silvermaine at FaeryWood. I see something much more definitive than a simple orb... (looks like a smiling wolf-demon to me!)

Can you see it? (And I did nothing to this capture!) Note: after Susan's response to this, I thought I'd mention the tree next to the flame. See it now?

Ok, here's a pic I enhanced a bit. See it now?
(Am I the only one who has "devil vision?" ;^)

We just had a huge Celtic Fest this past weekend here in the Gold Country, of which I've taken many wonderful captures. I've been working OT on these ever since, but in the meantime I met a really nice guy who played us this song, which I'd like to share...

I've discovered an artist here who defines the word "modesty." I find him so self-effacing, yet discover this...

Of course James'll want you to know his business partner, Chanel, in this Tarot deck. After all it appears she created this video. But I don't blame her. No wonder she wanted to show-off this marvelous artist. ;^)

(The post below was loaded 9/3, but it seems the sites images from 9/2 through 9/4 were deleted, so here it is reloaded...)

Personalized liscence plates've been available much longer than domain names, so I was quite surprized to find the following one available, and it's on my truck now...

Along with that, I've been pestering David and Phillipa to put up an image of her, since she'd already uploaded some stunningly beautiful butterfly wings from some haven in the land of Great Britain. David accomodated quite nicely, not only providing a nice shot of his beautiful mate, but with some Plumeria (from NZ David?) as well. As you can see, Phillipa is ready to enchant anyone who comes too close... ;^)
