This weekend was the Taos Wool Festival held in Kit Carson Park. From the Friday wind that sent the top of our EZ Up tent flying when we were setting up, to the gorgeous, sunny autumn weather on Saturday and Sunday, it was a busy and wonderfully social event.
Teamwork is the key during the festival, and my job is to help Fred during the event in any way I can. So my primary mission was definitely not photography. These are grab shots and just a very brief representation of the "booth" and some of the animals in the park.
I suspect the caged rabbits were going through their own traumas will all the people oohing and aahing, trying to get their attention. It would be interesting to know what this one was thinking.
These vicuñas were absolutely adorable. About the size of a seven year old, children and adults alike love their sweetness.

Fred and I would like to thank the many people who stopped by to say hello and wish us luck. Bill and Sue, Barbara and Jerry, and Victoria came from Santa Fe and we appreciate them making that long drive. Buf, Steve, Terry, Geraint, Steve V., Gail and Earle, Andrea, Melissa and Steve, Janet, Paule and Maury, Elida and Alfie, Klara and Jivan with their wee one, Richard and Matt, Paul and Helen, and others "the day after the weekend fog" keeps me from remembering, brightened our days. We appreciate your presence. And many thanks to the people who bought rugs and rifle scabbards, and those also who came to see Fred's work and admire it from afar.
until next Monday,
