Saturday moring around nine, I was driving through the Strip District and saw green in every direction.
Ahhh, St.Patrick’s Day Parade!
How could I have forgotten. Parked the car and got out in the rain and realized all I had was my cell phone camera.
Everyone was so nice when I asked if I could photograph them. The rain didn’t dampen their spirits.
Twenty-seventh parade !
Ladies of the AOH Auxilary Sue and Marian

Hanging up green merchandise. Love the shades.

Thank you Rajiv. A lot of green!
Great photo’s, the colors are great!!
Thanks so much, Jim.
Great celebrations and some cool characters!
Never too much of a good thing.
Lots of green and lots of great smiles. I especially smiled when I saw the picture of the Allderdice marching band. I marched in many parades as a member of that band.
What a colorful group!
Wonderful variety of shots. I missed this years parade but your photos brought the beauty and excitement to my laptop. Thanks for sharing. BE. ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
Good thing you stayed dry! I looked as though I had just gotten out of the shower by the end of the shoot. Thanks for commenting Francine.
They really know how to celebrate there, even in the rain. 🙂 Little Markie is so cute. 🙂
Nice celebration especially like the dog…
Thanks for the pictures of the parade. We didn’t go because of the rain. Tony walked in it. You did get a picture of Ollie Jedlick, one of the hiberneians.
Great pictures – great day!
