So I'm walking across the Main Street bridge - along the parade route - just before the parade is about to start at 10AM this morning. One of the last vehicles allowed down Main Street, which was lined with about 700 people, is a guy on a Harley motorcycle who is quite obviously passing through on his way to somewhere else.

So he pulls up next to me and asks, "Is there a parade or something?"

I was just so tempted to answer, "No. It's Monday morning and we're all waiting for the bus."

Mark, that is the kind of sarcastic humor I love. It usually gets me in trouble but I love it.

A great photo. Love the title of your photo blog.

What a great way to present the photos from a parade: stand in one spot, shoot away then present as an sequence.

Great shoot indeed! Perfect for a slideshow/movie.

Oh they are funny!
I love watch people in their environment while they are making something (or nothing) and their stereotype.
