the annual Christmas parade was held in town this afternoon accompanied by fantastic weather-- which, after the rain we had last week, was very happy-making. we secured ourselves a good spot near the end of the parade route, & enjoyed the sunshine as all the floats went past in a riot of colour & music. I snapped a bunch of photos, & the following are a few of my favourites. (I was playing around with photoshop filters, & decided on this one, which highlights all the various shades of red-- it seemed kind of appropriate for the purpose. :D)
