Description
it mardi gras time here and I was downtown hanging a art show out gallery was having in a coffee shop. I got to go back and get some shots of the coffee shop now lol.
Anyway a parade was on Sunday at 3:30 pm and it was just a halve a block from the coffee shop so I went and got a front seat row right in front of people. I heard someone yell 'hay" I did not react to it as a lot of people was getting in front as all heard the cops coming down the road which means the parade was on, I was there for an hour and my battery on my small pocket camera went dead so I went home. I did give the kids next to me a lot of stuff and I keep some and ate some of the candy I got. I saw this four year old black girl give a small football she caught to a ten year old white boy next to me. they never meet before but it touch me to see stuff like this. I saw it all up and down where I was standing . boys would give dolls to girls and the girls give the footballs to the boys and a lot of times I know they did not know each other.
oh this is how you know the parade is come now so get ready. it did not rain but that night it did and it turn cold.
