I Like What I See

As many Beast watchers know, the Riverside County Fair and National Date Festival in Indio has long been a hot spot for sitings. As this year's fair came to an end, many researchers and their parents have submitted fascinating evidence. We don't know what it all means, but I believe that there is a time for analysis and a time to just step back and say "I know what I like." Whether it is composition, color balance, dynamic tension, or implied narrative, each of these images has something to offer.

Ephraim and Kat Armendariz get a little motivation to "work off" those funnel cakes. The Idyll-Beast inspires many to take up sprinting for health.

Marta Padilla submitted this touching portrait, a quiet moment shared.

See you all at the Fair next year!
