Gotta love the fair! And by the way, as to your camera question--I use a Nikon DX (D60), 18-55mm VR lens. Love it, but barely know how to use all its functions! I forgot you taught art; once again, I wish you were my neighbor. In your move from Washington to Arizona, you totally bypassed me. e-Mom, oh, thank you so much for linking to this!!

I always think of one of the most famous of all World's Fairs, the 1889 Paris one in which the Eiffel Tower was first displayed...and also included Buffalo Bill, Annie Oakley, Thomas Edison, and more! Hard to beat that one! Anna, very cool that you attended a World’s Fair!

Your photos are stunning, esp the fence. Your colors are amazing! (Camera?) I'm putting my film Nikon SLR (N65) up for sale on amazon this week. Can't wait to get a digital version. I've been out of the photography loof far too long. You're inspiring me. Your kids' carvings are fabulous--especially the apple swan. Wow, well done! (I taught children's art classes for 5 years... did I mention?) ((Hugs)) Loved every minute of this post!!! Your photos are stunning, esp the fence. Your colors are amazing! (Camera?)

Such a nice variety, with paintings, bears... I love the soap carving and the food animals!! And your photographs are beautiful; I love them. That old fence has a story to tell. I never went to a county fair growing up... it is something new for me, as an adult! My kids joined 4H a few years ago, and since then have been participating. It is a fun thing; I love the county fair. A few days ago we went to the state fair, something my kids look forward to every year... but it rained so it had to be cut short. About 14 years ago, I went to the Minnesota State Fair... I was expecting my first child, and it was the first fair I ever attended in my life. When I was young, I attended a World's Fair-- in New Orleans I think, wow- had forgotten, your comment above reminded me. I didn't know they still had a World's Fair!? How wonderful. Florida would be a lovely place for a visit! Oh– these projects are so cute! Such a nice variety, with paintings, bears… I love the soap carving and the food animals!!

A few years ago we raised ducklings--hatched from eggs and my, I had NO idea how fast they grew! I've never been to a STATE fair, only county fairs--will have to do that someday. And maybe a WORLD Fair?? In 2013 or 14, the World's Fair is supposed to be in Florida. ♥ Hi Anita! A few years ago we raised ducklings–hatched from eggs and my, I had NO idea how fast they grew!

We've raised two ducklings under lights. They are adorable. Been to the Ohio State Fair, the Minnesota State Fair and the Virginia State Fair. Lots of similarities. I bought a lovely baby white rabbit in the Virginia State Fair!! Oh what fun! We’ve raised two ducklings under lights. They are adorable.
