I went out trying a new camera today, here are a few impressions of the musical contributions to the local parade. The theme of the parade this year was 'Fairytales' and my young fellow was in with the local musicianers. . Our gang won first prize for best float

Thanks for sharing, Peter. It does the heart good to see young people playing the music and having fun with it.

Peter, these are very good photos, but I must say I really like your black-and-white work.

The B&W won't go away. I got me a digital for the colour jobs and for the snapshots but from shooting the past few weeks I don't think it will take over quite yet.

Get these kids some expensive whistles and green duds, add a Leprechaun or a few, and it could pass for America!

Thanks for the pictures Peter. It is great to see how the celebration is done in Clare. We used to have parade in Rhode Island when I lived there. The difference is none of the adults would have been able to walk back. I love to see the young ones learning the music of their heritage. Wish I could have been there.

BTW the worst thing about digital cameras is the number of pictures you can take in a short period of time.

Thanks
Ron

Great photos!

Now a question-
How cold was it there? The reason I asked is that it looks like St Pat would have cold feet if he was here in the mountains this time of year.
