Happy St Patrick's Day

I went to the St Patrick's Day parade this afternoon. Fortunately the sun was shining and I arrived nice and early so I could pick a spot where I wouldn't be blocking on-lookers.
While the theme of this year's parade with Myths and Legends, but there were also lots of pipe bands, ceili bands, a samba bands, Africa gospel choirs, Polish folk dancers, football teams, a cricket club, lots of leprechauns, vintage cars and tractors, everything that makes a St Patrick's Day parade the colourful mix which it is.
Came home with over 400 images on my memory card so I'm going to be busy going through them for the next day or so.
You can see some of them:

Happy St. Patrick's Day to you! Our celebration is very unusual this year. Normally there is snow, but this year it's supposed to be 70 F!

I sounds as if it was a wonderful parade. I love this shot. You really captured the atmosphere, as well as the moment. BV

I like the "V" shape in this, with the bubble blower at the vertex and the backgrounders making up the sides. Have to agree that the single bubble is what captures the moment.
