Art Fest (May 4, 2014)

 Nice Sunday, went to Byrd Park to the Art Fest....and usually without fail (sure I have missed one or two) go every year. One of the most fun things to do in May, it is a great art show with all sorts of art.
I like seeing original things, and one thing you learn seeing this is that there are some really, really creative people out there making some remarkable things.
The bell tower here was a WW1 memorial...still very neat in what is an amazing park (also of special note is Maymont which is attached to Byrd Park...if you have not been they are a must see during any visit to Richmond. I have been to both many times, and they are both featured on this blog.
Went with two friends from work Tony and Tina and we had a great time checking out the sights and some of the amazing things that you can see. 

One good example are these creations by one Clifford C. Earl of Glen Allen, VA. I could not believe them, and was really, really amazed at what he had put together. Very creative and a lot of imagination went into them. Talked with the artist (Mr. Earl is the man sitting against the left of the tent). More than I can afford but if I could....
Had a great time at the event, though had to park a distance away (but a walk through the park and the neighborhood is great) due to the rather large crowd. Which made for an interesting drive home....      

...because an College bike race was going on in Richmond. In fact I got to see part of it, mainly cause many of the roads were blocked....hard to drive the way back bacause of the traffic so took a different route. Made it, and even got some "sightseeing photos" of sights in the RVA which are on my photo page, as well as other photos of the event.
Did the bike race piss me off? No, big fan of people on two wheels (though a motorcycle is currently my bike of choice) though used to ride a bicycle (and someday may again. Think it was a very neat event and in fact enjoyed seeing a few minutes of it.
