I did. Decided that having been asked out for dinner, I didn't have to cook a feast for one. Therefore, a light breakfast and lunch, and could sit and take photos of our local (Asheville) parade, as well as 2 channels of the Macy's Parade.
If you could care less (like I have many years) you can skip to the end. It might be interesting to see the last performer. Talking about the aging population...
Our local news anchorwoman and weatherman. Channel WLOSThere's something more intimate about a man singing and playing a piano on a float right in front of you!
I love closed captions, except when they block off other things. Here's an aerial view of the Santa Claus float as it passes the news cameras at that corner.
And to be able to say hi back to the Clauses too!
Then there's the huge crowd in New York City!
A Facebook friend in Tallahassee had a daughter, a band leader in her town in Florida, who played picalo in the Band Leader's Band here.
This is as close as the TV and iPhone camera could get to seeing the Radio City Rockettes kicking together!

...I watch the Macy's parade for bit.
ReplyDeleteI watched a small bit, I was starting to prepare dinner. Take care, have a great day and happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteYep, Cher and the Stones, among other elder performers, are pretty amazing.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos!
ReplyDeleteCher at 77… how does she do it?
ReplyDeleteOur parade is tonight. Crowds are booming in our growing town, and getting parking and walking to a good spot is now problematic with a bad foot.
ReplyDeleteA whole extravaganza.
