Of faerie wings and halter tops, of Kitsune and queens.

While we were at the Goddess Market last week, we said we would be doing the Solstice festival on the 21st. Events out of our control made solstice, fun, or security, things far from the forefront of our minds. Reminded at the last minute however, we strived to have fun in spite of things. It was a good decision.

I couldn't guess how many showed up, but it was a good crowd and nearly half dressed for flights of fancy. It really did my heart a world of good to see the young and old alike in their little wings, hats, horns, and face paint. It was good to know that no matter how young or old you were there was always a time and a place to let your freak flag fly.

We were there for the beginning, and we stayed for the end, and we had a good and relaxing time surrounded by friends. Here's a few pictures we took to mark the occasion. We didn't want to use flash because we didn't want to disturb those around us, so many of the later pictures didn't turn out. I guess I should have brought a tripod for those low light shots. Of course, even at 3pm that afternoon, I had no idea it was even Thursday, let alone solstice.
