Our Daily Challenge ... down the rabbit hole
"So many out-of-the-way things had happened lately, that Alice had begun to think that very few things indeed were really impossible.
There seemed to be no use in waiting by the little door, so she went back to the table, half hoping she might find another key on it, or at any rate a book of rules for shutting people up like telescopes: this time she found a little bottle on it, ('which certainly was not here before,' said Alice,) and round the neck of the bottle was a paper label, with the words 'DRINK ME' beautifully printed on it in large letters.
'Well, I'll eat it,' said Alice, 'and if it makes me grow larger, I can reach the key; and if it makes me grow smaller, I can creep under the door; so either way I'll get into the garden, and I don't care which happens!' "
Asked to take some more photos for Sam at aspellforyou. Very happy with the results, really getting into still life photography. Used the Leica 25 f1.4 again great lens. Sam has this time crafted little herb bottles from ingredients she has forage for in woods. She has made healing, love, happiness and luck spells very neat. See the link to her website and social media links.

It's Witchy Wednesday again! I really love working with the little smoke bombs I have. Wish I could get the bigger ones I see all over photographers use though!
New model today :) Karen very kindly reached out to me and offered to pose for some pictures. I had met her in college and was more than happy to see her again! I love working with new people and having new faces in my photos. Her newly bought outfit from the Ren. Faire worked perfectly for this shoot!

Portraits of RenFest ~ festival Apothecary vendor
The 25th Annual Florida Renaissance Festival
March 2017 ~ Deerfield Beach, Florida U.S.A.
"The Wizard" is always a Renaissance festival fan favorite. He is
a brilliant man who speaks beautifully and tells wonderful stories.
A fine, trusted man. Has been at his Apothecary booth many years.

***************************************************************************************
This is my eleventh year covering this fun festival filled with color and pageantry and beautiful people. Each year some of the regulars return and sometimes fresh new faces appear to join the renaissance family. Some are vendors or employees, and some customers dress up to fit in with the renaissance festival fun and its 16th century way of life. One big happy family of a few thousand escaping the dull-drums of their daily life for a few hours. This year's crop of new faces was lovely. Hope you enjoy the images. I try to capture their joy. Always fun, festive and very colorful. Thanks very much for looking. Hazaaa!!

Tufted and bunched and ranged with careless art
Here, where the paving-stones are set apart,
Alert and gay and innocent of guile,
The little pansies nod their heads and smile.
With what a whispering and a lulling sound
They watch the children sport about the ground,
Longing, it seems, to join the pretty play
That laughs and runs the light-winged hours away.
And other children long ago there were
Who shone and played and made the garden fair,
To whom the pansies in their robes of white
And gold and purple gave a welcome bright.
Gone are those voices, but the others came.
Joyous and free, whose spirit was the same;
And other pansies, robed as those of old,
Peeped up and smiled in purple, white and gold.
For pansies are, I think, the little gleams
Of children’s visions from a world of dreams,
Jewels of innocence and joy and mirth,
Alight with laughter as they fall to earth.
Below, the ancient guardian, it may hap,
The kindly mother, takes them in her lap,
Decks them with glowing petals and replaces
In the glad air the friendly pansy-faces.
So tread not rashly, children, lest you crush
A part of childhood in a thoughtless rush.
Would you not treat them gently if you knew
Pansies are little bits of children too?
Pansies

OBERON:
That very time I saw, but thou couldst not,
Flying between the cold moon and the earth,
Cupid all arm'd: a certain aim he took
At a fair vestal throned by the west,
And loosed his love-shaft smartly from his bow,
As it should pierce a hundred thousand hearts;
But I might see young Cupid's fiery shaft
Quench'd in the chaste beams of the watery moon,
And the imperial votaress passed on,
In maiden meditation, fancy-free.
Yet mark'd I where the bolt of Cupid fell:
It fell upon a little western flower,
Before milk-white, now purple with love's wound,
And maidens call it love-in-idleness.
Fetch me that flower; the herb I shew'd thee once:
The juice of it on sleeping eye-lids laid
Will make or man or woman madly dote
Upon the next live creature that it sees.
Fetch me this herb; and be thou here again
Ere the leviathan can swim a league.
Act II, Scene 1
A Midsummer Night's Dream
William Shakespeare
1564-1616

Relief with Winged Spirit, 883-859 BC, from interior wall of the northwest palace of King Ashurnasirpal II at Nimrud in Iraq.
The good folks at the Walters provided a meticulous translation of the inscription but it's a long winded toadying load of crap. The King was mighty bla bla bla. This ego maniacal putz would have put "The Donald" too shame.
