Day 77 Happy St. Patrick's Day!
What do you get when you take a radio station, a bar, a few floats, and the Shriners, and mix them together in Grand Forks, ND (stir-crazy from a really long winter?) The first St. Patrick's Day Parade! (Never mind that most of ND is Norwegian and Swedish. . . close enough.) Lasts all of five minutes, and has some nice old guys playing "When Irish Eyes are Shining," one float urging participants to follow up festivities at the bar, and Carpet World frogs tossing candy to the kiddies. . . . And some photos for me, on theme!

This looks so fun! Those frogs are great! LOL
How fun! The area I live in is so not Irish, and there really isn't any celebration for this Irish girl, so I enjoyed seeing your parade.
Looks like a fun parade! You got some great shots!
I LOVE parades like this! I actually used to march in a marching band so parades were a big part of my life. Love all the green.

Cute shots! Went to a St. Patrick's parade too yesterday - fun fun fun!! :)
What fun!! The frogs crack me up!!! And I have to laugh at your "13"... you were ahead of your time lady!!!
These are great! I am loving those frogs and all the green.
Wow...now that is a lot of green. I just love these fun parade shots that everyone seems to be getting. So much color and celebration.
Hmmm-somehow I've never associated frogs (giant furry frogs at that!) with St. Patrick's Day. :-D But, having lived in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan, I understand how starved for green you are by this time of year.
these are so FUN!

What great shots! I love those frogs! Parades are so fun to photograph.
Your photography is a joy to see. I've said this before, but your skills are just outstanding.
I've been really sick the past few days, so I haven't been lurking as much, but now I'm back with a vengeance!
fun! I like your scrap page too! LOL!

Very fun! We didn't make it to the parade - bummer! How was it?
I thought the frogs were alligators... what the heck do I know?! LOL
Looks like a fun 5 minute parade, the perfect length if you ask me. :)
Looks like fun. I'm glad you told me those were frogs, I would have never guessed. ;P
Oh good - greens upon greens of every kind! These are fun shots. ML
