Downtown Smiths Falls first bike show of the season and it certainly was rumbling with the sound of all sorts of motorcycles from all over the place! I saw some jackets from Kingston, Hawkesbury, Cornwall, Ottawa, and Veterans just to name a few!

I even saw a few familiar faces including Alain (Cowboy) & Sue from For Bikers by Bikers, and some of the Freedom Harley-Davidson of Ottawa employees!

We had two musical acts perform as well, one band was called Fastlane and the other was called Taming Vegas! Both sounded really good, and it was really nice getting the opportunity to photograph some music/concert shots! Although I only got a hand-full as the main focus was bikes and the mingling. Oh, I did hear bag pipes so I obviously followed my eyes and got to enjoy a little performance by the gentlemen playing them as well!

Feel free to share and tag anyone you know! So many faces!! So many bikes!! 5,300 to be exact!

The moment everyone has been waiting for! Photos from the Glengarry Renaissance Festival Faire are up now and there was so much to see!

We had The Eyrie, with Falconry, Matt discussing 4 different types of Birds of Prey which lit up so many faces (including myself). We also had .duo.inferno (check out their Instagram page) with their acrobatic fire demonstrations. There were Knights from KOV Extreme Jousting with Shane Adams as the announcer who some might recognize him from Full Metal Jousting on the History Channel (or Apple TV).

We also had plenty of Pirates, Vikings, Fairies and Elves (plenty on day 2), and other creative costumes of those who attended.

There were plenty of vendors for costume attire, armour/weaponry, jewelry, food, DND (Dungeons and Dragons) dice, and uh... WANDS! Did anyone else pick up a Harry Potter wand during the weekend? I know I jumped at the opportunity of a Hermione Granger wand myself!

Do you have a favourite from this past weekend? Personally, as we know... BIRDS (cause I am a bird nerd), but the Jousting was nice to see two!

Here are a few more from the Renaissance Faire, including The Eyrie: Birds of Prey Services with Falconry, Matt and his lovely birds! I do have the names of all birds... just trying to remember the correct order (Nugget, Brett**, Ferra, and Osiris) for the birds of prey, Steppes Eagle, Eurasian Eagle Owl, Saker Falcon, and American Harris Hawk

These are birds I would have never thought in my lifetime that I'd get to see, so yeah... Matt's facial expression while talking about his beauties... that was me as well and in total awe like a kid in a candy shop! The fellow bird nerds and lovers will understand!

& Yes, I loved seeing them so much on day 1, that I obviously went on day 2 for the first demonstration of the day to get even more photo opportunities. I will admit, it was a challenge to even take photos because my eyes just wanted to keep staring at their stunning eyes, especially that Eurasian Eagle Owl!!! Oh my lord!

Oh and dogs *obviously*! & I did in fact remember to get some of those music shots in from the two acts that were performing Downtown Smiths Falls! Oh and BAG PIPES!! YESSSS 👏👏 --> now, I still have to finish processing the Renaissance Fair photos and then it will be onto the Bike Night photos from this evening!!

Shout out to Tim Hortons on street for the amazing service for all bikers, photographers like myself and well, everyone that was out and about for tonight's event!
