The Fair

Vince and I went to the Del Mar Fair on Sunday.  We got there at 10:30 had a falafel sandwich and hit the garden section.  Succulents were plentiful.  The garden show theme has been water conservation for several years now. 

Old adobe walls are from the original walls around the fairground.

Every year the fair has a theme; this year it was The Beatles.


I love all the detail--for example the blue green succulents delineating the edge of his jacket.

Another shot.

And yet another!
On our way over to look at the photography section, we went through the petting zoo.  And of course, these pigs caught my eye.

Loved the earring!

And the eyelashes!




The real thing...sleeping, of course.
Harmonica player was GutBucket Bo.

Rose growing competition--not many with a fragrance.

Flower arrangement with Banana flower and baby bananas

Thought these were gorgeous; sorry, I did not include the artist's name in the picture.  Click on this and look at the detail on the ring. 

We had fish tacos, fried clam strips (my fave), and some not very good soft serve ice cream as my feet were too tired to walk over to Farrell's.

It was a good day.  Oink!
