louise on the left (coast)

I tried to capture, in images alone, the dizzying, whirlwind sights, sounds, smells and tastes of last summer's visit to the Orange County Fair , July 13, 2013. I took it all down a few months ago, but by popular demand (by a few strangers who said they wanted to view it, again) I am reposting this blog post in it's entirety.   Today (a year ago to the very week) I am reposting along with ALL the photos I took a year ago in this post! There are many, many below.   Happy viewing! Here's your serving of carnival signage, a vast array of fried and grilled fare, the creative fair-fashionistas, skin-ink to explosions,  neon accessories, noise, movement, smoke, ringing, buzzing, swirling fair in motion. Endless happy faces.  Most of them were there with family members, some on the arm of a love (or two).  And everyone was truly  engaged in experiencing the fair -- their own way.  photobomb
