Series - Tampa's Gasparilla Parade 5

Greetings from the Hermit Writer.

Bead throwers. Oh yeah. I was at a parade.

Where good friends kicked back.

Smiled for the camera.

Collected beads and eye patches.

There was a lot of bead throwing. Can you believe I only came home with two strands?

The folks on the floats had a blast too, I think.

Always a grouch looking on. 

I don't know why, but this is one of my favorite shots.

This guy looked like he was really hitting on the damsel. (Just saying)

Did I mention the festival is pirate themed?

  2. That looks like the best parade I've ever seen, even better than a Christmas parade.
