Pride Parade: Spectators

Happy 4th of July. Stay tuned for pics of BBQ goodness. For now, tho, let's just finish up with some shots of the other folks watching last Sunday's parade.

She stood beside me until the rains came.


She sat below me with her girlfriend and scored about every free thing anyone had to offer.


The woman on the left had been trimming her yard when we walked past on the way to the parade. Some of her young neighbors shared their new beads afterwards.

Pride Parade: Churches

The MCC's perfectly tuned marching band make me smile.


Dude, I'm not sure you're supposed to flip those things all the way around.


This old Ford made me happy, and I think they had the best car sign of the parade.

Pride Parade: Dogs

I'm always happy when the weather breaks for summer parades. I hate to see dogs overheat - and I'm not even a dog person. These pooches all seems pretty happy.



Of course his free toy matches his collar!


I don't think these Four Muddy Paws pups are coming clean.

Pride Parade: Kings

IDKWDYWTG offers equal time for the boiz.

Pride Parade: Queens

Daylight is not always kind to these ladies. Cheers to them for coming out in the direct light, humidity and cloudbursts of the parade.

More Rides of Pride

I thought she was way to small for this thing, and her shoes were all wrong, but she handled it beautifully.


Big Crank is more my speed.


Sweet paint job - and it didn't die in the rain.

The Rides of Pride

Okay, the next few days are just going to look a little queer. I took a lot of pics at Sunday's Pride Parade. We got there a little late, so we missed Band Together's march, but it was still a good parade.

I figured I break the photos up by subject this week. To start, we have some lovely transportation.



Yeah, the bikes are cool, but you know I'm just coveting these boots:


I'm getting a scooter, as soon as my rotator cuff is strong enough...

PrideFest (Sunday)

Details from the park and the parade. For a bigger collection, see the slideshow on my Flickr pages.

PrideFest in Tower Grove Park (Saturday)

This is Cath. She is adorable. She should have gotten sooooo many more hugs.






For more PrideFest photos, take a peek at my Flickr pages. Tonight I'll go through my rain soaked photos from Sunday and see what I can put together. I had a really good time shooting in the rain, even if my cameras didn't.
