One of my favorite things every year is the Blackbeard Festival in Hampton, VA. I travel from far and wide just to see the reenactors all dressed up; they even have a camp set up where pirates and merchants sell their "wares." This year, I took my boy, a Soom Namu, dressed up as his character Captain Ichabod VanIvan, swarthy seafarer, to attend the festivities. He was a big hit with everyone, and I took lots of pictures. Here are some of my favorites:
Classy shoe shot on top of the parking garage
My boy's amazing outfit I had especially made for him by this amazing lady in New England
Gazing out upon his domain
On deck! All hands to the mast!
Lookit them lips
An avid fan of the Captain... she sold me a pair of freshwater black pearl earrings
"Avast!", I learned, means stop but don't let go.
Walking the crowded streets of the festival
And last but not least, part of the amazing fireworks display... they actually lit the bridge on fire!!! It was this indescribable waterfall of fire and light; magnificent.Well, friends, thank you for looking!
Drink up me hearties, yo-ho!
