Shenanigans
Here we have more of the floats and marchers from last Saturday's St. Patrick's Day March, making their way south down Bank Street. The marchers include those of the canine variety- a number of Irish greyhounds.
I do love a parade and I especially like that "Irish Greyhound"! I think I mentioned how much I like your spring header...I just noticed the Canadian geese. I'm playing golf at Stone Creek this morning and the place is overrun with these things - you have to be very careful where you walk as they leave their "mark" everywhere! :)
While everyone is watching the parade, I am looking at the street views, store and other building fronts, and the dogs! Wonderful photos, William, thank you so much for sharing.
I love parade. The dressed up dogs look cute.
ReplyDeleteEveryone seems very rugged up. It must be a very cold day. The float for the Irish seniors is creative.
ReplyDeleteSaint Patrick's day doesn't get much attention in Germany...
ReplyDeleteA much entertaining parade!
ReplyDeleteGostei de ver.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e boa semana.

ReplyDeletehaha, that dog is so cute!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a cold day, William...
ReplyDeleteOh dear, the greyhound in green looks a little embarrassed ☺
ReplyDeleteThe greyhound in the last photo is "best of show" in my book!

...even a couple of dogs got in on the act. Happy St Patty's Day.
ReplyDeleteA good lively , noisy parade at this time of year is certainly enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteLove the greyhounds and the wearin' of the green. Neat buildings in the background too.

@Nancy: I was pleased to see these dogs again!
ReplyDelete@Gemma: it was definitely cold.
@Halcyon: I wouldn't think so!
@Marleen: it was!
@Francisco: thanks!
@Revrunner: they are slender dogs.
@Beth: green was well in play!
@Lowell: this is why I tend to walk on paths in a park during the summer! You can see their marks!
@Tanya: very much so!
@Karl: it was bitterly cold. I was glad I was able to take photos with my gloves on.
@Grace: indeed- quite a furtive expression!
@Janis: me too!
@Tom: thanks!
@Red: it is.
@MB: thank you!
That dog in the last shot looks like he might be a bit embarrassed.
ReplyDeleteI want to hang with the Irish Seniors! :)
ReplyDeleteI like the dogs. I think with the last dog. His covering may have done a flip. It is mighty cold these days.
ReplyDeleteCute dogs! I hope they enjoyed the parade :-)

ReplyDeleteYou went! What fun!
ReplyDeleteHello, the parade looks like fun! I like the dogs marching in the parade. Enjoy your day, happy St. Patrick's Day!
ReplyDeleteThose dogs are certainly bundled up!
ReplyDelete@Sharon: hopefully that doggie got treats!
ReplyDelete@Cloudia: they seemed to be having fun.
@Carolann: it was a windy day. I took two shots of that dog, and the other shot, the collar was adjusted properly.
@Tamago: I expect they were happy to get home and get some treats!
@Linda: thank you!
@Jennifer: it was fun.
@Eileen: thank you!
@RedPat: well bundled up, yes.
Gosh your new header is beautiful. it sure looks like Spring!
ReplyDeleteGreat continuation from your previous post.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see these photo's.
All the best Jan
It is still a shame there weren't more watchers. The dog in green doesn't look happy.
ReplyDeleteParades can sure be interesting. People love to watch one another.
ReplyDeleteI like the dogs!
ReplyDeleteIt looks cold. It's good that the dogs have proper clothes. Also I love the bow tie :)
ReplyDeleteI think I have some Irish blood. Mostly Scot and French, though.
ReplyDelete@Janey: and I'll have to do the same shortly.
ReplyDelete@Jan: thank you!
@Mari: the amount of watchers can be deceptive. The crowds do come out, it's just that they might be on the same side of the street as me.
@Kay: that's true.
@Linda: I do as well.
@Klara: thanks!
@Norma: mine is Dutch.
