From last year's July 4 parade ....

I suddenly realized that I had never posted all the photos I took at last year's July 4 parade here in Takoma Park. (This year, of course, we were in Cape Cod for July 4.) This woman was part of a troop of South American dancers. There are tons more photos up on my Flickr account - I meant to tell the parade committee they could use them for their site if they wanted, so I included as many of the parade units as possible. I wonder if they would still be interested.

Oh, and this post is also an experiment in automatically creating an entry from Flickr.

(ETA: Only partially successful. I'll need to edit the Flickr template if I want to do photo posts this way. Also, unless they allow variables, I won't be able to do a set link. )

Yeah, I was mostly shooting inside the Moongate Garden, which is sort of tucked away behind the Freer/Sackler and bottlenecked with, surprise surprise, big round gates, so distance and built-in traffic limitation probably protected it a bit; plus it's mostly flowering trees surrounding a paved courtyard with a water feature, so it's probably more trample-proof than big beds of tender smaller plants.

And you should definitely check the rest of that doggy set sometime when you can scrape up ten or fifteen minutes -- it's not very big, but it's full of extremely amusing cuteness. :) The stories of his antics really sound so much like my old boy (right down to taking over when he thought the humans seemed incompetent to raise a smaller juvenile creature, and sneak-thieving massive amounts of butter out of the kitchen...)
