Tennessee Renaissance Festival

Michelle, Tommy, Paul all had a great time when we went to the Tennessee Renaissance Festival on May 17th. I brought my new camera and had quite a bit of fun with the long lens - especially with the falconry & jousting.

The lady falconer that I've seen for several years and some of the birds.


They had to spear a small cork heart in one of the competitions - which is what you see here

And then there's my favorite bit - full tilt jousting. I know its a show but its really quite impressive and its full contact. There's nothing quite like horses and men in full armor rushing past you at a gallop.
