"Analy High School Tigers Marching
Band"
Jazzy cool with the fedoras and shades!
I aim
the lens way to the center of the street,
but the crowds on the sidewalks often
make it into the frame as well.
These guys are obviously Tiger boosters if anyone is,
so I'll honor them here too.
"Analy High School Homecoming
Queens"
Sebastopol is such a charming town.
And such charming
women!
"More alumnus !!"
"Cavalier King Charles
Spaniels on Parade!"
And such charming
puppies!
"Piner-Olivet Marching Band"
These kids had more discipline and pride than I can describe!
"Analy Nursery School"
This group of parents and kids was larger than I can put in one picture!
Balloons were bouncing everywhere!
"Car-Lite"
Too big a group of people {who are obviously not reliant on cars} for one picture too.
"Llamas of Wine Country"
It's amazing but this group was not small in any way either!
A surprisingly
large number of ranchers keep llamas and they keep them pretty.
"Hillcrest Middle School
Marching Band"
What I found
impressive here was the field commander.
See her at the front with the baton?
This girl was completely in charge and led the band with a confident persona.
What I thought was cleverly light-hearted and
colorful
was the way the girls wore yellow flowers in their hair,
on
their instruments, or both.
Yes, you Hillcrest parents should be proud, very proud!
"Free the Wi-fi"
This is a few members of the WaccoBB.net social group
making a dramatic statement about
making Wi-fi available in Sebastopol.

"Farm Trails"
Lots of
people marching in the parade took time to interact with the crowd
and pass
out free brochures about their organizations.
"Farm Trails" is a fun network
to follow through Sonoma County.
"The End"
Thanks for following along....
My hobbies include writing poetry about the faeries, elves, gnomes, mermaids and magic of the Sebastopol, Bodega Bay, Sonoma County area.
