Matt: I love all 3 shots. I like how you have managed to retain the colors
that sparkle. Lovely.:thumbs:

Five, or six, weeks of Seafair started today in Seattle (sometimes it seems longer!). That means little and big parades, neighborhood festivals, hydro races, Blue Angels flying overhead (if they can afford the avgas?), pirates, clowns, commodores, princesses (no princes?), a King and Queen, and the fleet's in town (a few ships anyway).

Today was the Wallingford Kiddies Parade. The route is a few blocks from our house. Behind me, as i sit at the computer, there is a box with some photos of myself, my sister and my brother riding our bikes in the parade. We were decked out as King Neptune, a mermaid, and a seahorse with yards, and yards of colored crepe paper (highly flammable; couldn't do it today). My brother got first prize in his category.

Anyway, here's a few photos from the parade. thanks for looking. Cheers, Matt.

Matt: Must be great fun. These are my favorites. They convey to me the
joy of the fair. The joy of the children. And of course the joy of the photog.:salute:

Jorgen: +1, +1; I agree with Steve. Won't be the same for sure.

Just found this one hidden among the shots from the island a few weeks ago. Monhegan Island Lighthouse.

TR, these remind me of the cottages in Truru & Provincetown, Cape Cod, Ma.
Nice Light & Color & Summer Feel!

 

[otumay]

Yes, marvelous light and color, TR.

 

[TRSmith]

Thanks gents! The light seems especially nice when you're ten miles off the coast. Early morning rocks!

 

[Lloyd]

Yes, marvelous light and color, TR.

+1 from here. I'm with Steve and Osman here Tim. Great shot.

More goodness. :salute:

Tim...Gorgeous!!!

My Favorites! Well Shot Matt!

Steve: Thanks.

Matt: Thank you so much.
Matt: Be it music, the marketplace, the flowers, we are more the richer for
having you share Seattle with us.:salute:...

Matt: Thanks friend.

that sparkle. Lovely.:thumbs:

Rayyan: You're welcome and thank you very much! (insert big smile here) The parade seems to be getting bigger every year. It's fun to see all of the little kids (and parents) enjoying themselves. I think this is also the first parade of the Summer for the drill teams and marching bands (fiercely dedicated and competitive bunch).

Just found this one hidden among the shots from the island a few weeks ago. Monhegan Island Lighthouse.

Tim: The light is great in this photo. It brings out the classic simplicity and planes of the architecture.

Steen: Nicely seen with the juxtaposition of the kayakers and the building. It gives it a human scale comparison. Also like the way the two triangular "ground" shapes in the foreground lead into the angles of the building.

Meet Jim The Dog.

Tim: Good looking and friendly seeming dog. That slight quizzical cant to his head is neat. Makes me want to stick out my hand so he can lick it.:thumbup:

Nice set Matt. Some great shots there.

Very nice! :thumbup: You're certainly making great use of that terrific zoom. I sure to love mine.

Lloyd: Thank you. It's an excellent all purpose lens! It's ideal for things like this parade. And it's IQ, even at 300mm, is pretty darn good.

Cheers, Matt.

Anything worth doing, is worth over doing! Here's a few more from yesterday's Kiddie Parade. We had to look twice at the girl in the second photo. She looks just like our daughter at that age wearing the same school uniform. Cheers, Matt
