This is the view of the SCA encampment from across the lake.
This is the first thing we saw as we arrived. Of course there were other encampments
throughout the area, some were very well hidden in the woods.
Does anyone know how many was recorded as being at Lilies?
It seemed like a couple thousand. How would you like to see that many
Phoenix members at a gathering?

We did a little spear throwing on Saturday while we waited for some of the others to show.

Sister Theophano launches a few.(Right)
Finally we let Brother Basarb throw his own spear.
It is a good thing we were not the spearmen for the battle because that target we were throwing at survived. But then it was only a small target. If it had been
mansized, I would have gotten it. (Sure I would have.)
Feasting (and drinking of William's Brew) of course is a requirement.(Right)
Can anyone tell why I like this dress? I'm sorry milady but you never came back to give me your name.(Left)
My final shots are of friends. This is the Lost Forest crowd. This is where the Phoenix began. During the weekend some of us saw friends we haven't seen for 5 or 6 years. Unfortunetly I didn't always have the camera or I would have taken your picture. Maybe next time.
