Multi-Colored Blooms

These are the same kind of flower I showed you on Wednesday, just in a different mix of color.

To see more flowers from around the world, visit Today's Flowers.

Beads a Flying!

I amassed plenty of beads during the parade. We were right on the front row and I was hoping to get a shot of some in mid-air headed towards me. I didn't get that shot, but here's this one.

Groovy Girl

The next installment in the parade series. Groovy girl was having a good time!

Potato Truck

As seen at the Saint Patrick's Day parade. This was one of the funnier floats.

I had to include both shots!

More Garden Flowers

More beautiful flowers from my garden back in Jackson. I'm not sure what these are called but they come in a variety of colors.

Azaleas

My azaleas were out in full force just before I left Jackson. Looking at my last photos of them is cheering somehow.

Flag Man

After Hoopla Girl, you now see Flag Man. He didn't generate the same response from the crowd (open-mouthed gazers), but he was still an interesting figure.

Hoopla Girl

Hoopla girl is the center of attraction of the picture but don't overlook the face expression on the guy standing at the back. :P

Lone Fisherman

This was at the reservoir area in Jackson.

The theme of this year's St Patrick's Day Parade was the blues. The Mississippi Blues Commission had this artist out there walking. I don't know his name, but he looks the part of a blues man and I'm sure he plays it well too!

Po in a Row

The Saint Patrick's Day parade is probably the only time you're happy to see a state trooper. I must admit, they looked good on their bikes and did some impressive moves!

Duck Flight!

A graceful Duck flight!

Snoop on the Cell

Last night a group of friends (including Halcyon and Dreamer's Click) went to see Snoop Dogg in downtown Jackson. The show didn't disappoint! Here's a look at the artist as captured from Dreamer's Click's cell phone. Good times, good times!

Festive Reflection

Reflection capturing the festive mood of people of Jackson at the St. Paddy's Parade.

Super Moon

This is from the much publicised "Supermoon" day. As seen in Jackson. Looks bigger ? ;)

Pied Piper of Jackson

St. Paddy's Parade at Jackson on Sat. afternoon. I had an opportunity to get some interesting shots during the event.

Leftovers

Some broken beads left on the pavement after Saturday's Saint Patrick's Day parade downtown. It was a lot of fun. But I don't envy those who had to clean up after the shindig!

One Handed Push-ups!

I saw this bird do 50 one-handed pushups!

Flowering Trees

Flowering trees make a beautiful statement in the landscape. I think these are a variety of Magnolia.

Mississippi Veterans Monument

An interesting monument in the heart of downtown Jackson. The inscriptions at the monument to read and reflect is the oath of office which is:

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God."
