Celtic Festival (1)

I attended my first Celtic Festival in McDade, Texas.

The field trip was hosted by Precision Camera & Video. They provided two professional photographers as instructors and guides and the rest was up to us amateur photographers. I had a lot of fun and learned a lot from the instructors.

All the “residents” of Sherwood Forest were friendly and happy to pose for photographs. I took a couple hundred photographs and, fortunately, a few of them are good enough to share.

This one is my favorite: the future caber tosser.

A baby, just learning to walk, in a kilt.  So cute.

Like father, like daughter

These two gentlemen greeted the crowd just before the festival opened for the day. Beautiful music they made. When they started to play, about 25 of us got out our cameras and clicked away, startling them. Their very own paparazzi!
