Everyone loves a parade! And while the sound of bagpipes usually reminds me of chilly March days standing on Forest Avenue on Staten Island, or of the little parade we had of our own after our wedding, celebrating the end of the outdoor seasons seems just as reasonable a reason to have bagpipers and parades.
These gentlemen cut a fine figure in their kilts, don’t they? The blond wants us to knowabout a few of his favorite things…a beer in one hand and whiskey in his other!!

These horses were performing a dance routine that was called an equine riverdance! It was pretty amazing watching the precesion of both horses and riders!
 

Well, the autumn has come upon us, and what a great way to end the outdoor part of the year but with some music festivals!
Richmond has been the home for the past two years of the National Folk Festival–one more year to go, before it moves on to other pastures.

The day in mid-October was wonderful, but we couldn’t arrive until after work…
next year I want the whole day!

Here is Chuck Brown, from DC.
The Carlos de Leon Orchestra

This happy couple had a grand time dancing to the music of Sonny Burgess and the Legendary Pacers….they were cute, but, please, shoot me if I EVER ask Timmy to dress up in matching velour running suits!!! 

Sept 10, 2006. The day was absolutely perfect for an airshow!

It was the 60th anniversary of the Blue Angels, who are amazing to watch.

If you go to the next entry, with the sunset, and click on the Kodak link, you should be able to see the rest of the photos….enjoy!
