Santa and his reindeer signaled the end of the parade and the beginning of the holiday season. It was a great parade. I look forward to the Macy's parade each year and it's one of the very best parts of Thanksgiving day for me. I hope you enjoyed my photos, every single performer in the parade was having a ball even though they had TO BE COLD!

What a special time, I can't imagine being in that huge crowd and it being so cold but people do seem to be having a good time. You are so faithful to your walks and am sure the dogs are mighty happy you are.
ReplyDeleteLooks as if you had a very good Thanksgiving and were lucky to be watching the parade on TV not out in the cold! Your walk by the water looks more tranquil.

you got some great images of the parade...i only took a few. we went a few years ago and i have to tell you it was the best!!! everyone says it is better to watch the parade from the comfort and warmth of home, by i'm here to tell you that's not true. there is nothing like being there!!
ReplyDeletelooks like you had a great day. i LOVE my mashed/whipped potatoes because i use too much butter and heavy cream, they are to die for!! everyone always says they are the best and i have to agree. on to christmas now, we are going to see the rockettes, in 2 weeks!!
That looks like loads of fun -- terrific photos and I can't imagine the joy on the faces seeing some of those floats! I've only seen the parade on TV so like you, I've taken more than a few pix! Fun to watch with your Little. That lighting on that photo of you with the dogs by the ocean is just glorious!
