Lough Foyle, Moville co. Donegal

the parade
commenced and there was no rain just cold temps and wind. Behind the people were trucks with bunting, fire engines, ambulances and a few tractors, all with ads for their services. The people walking looked cold but everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Another fun small community event, well done by everyone.

Enjoy your afternoon!
Dimi...
love a parade
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, there's so much to see. I feel like you've provided us a ringside seat for the entire parade. What a deal! Some things caught my eye, though: St. Patrick hisself, the cute kids all bundled up, the bagpipers, so long as I don't have to listen to them (sorry 'bout that!), that old car which looks like maybe a Rolls, that yuge tractor, and the boat builders. Super post, my friend! I enjoyed all of it!
ReplyDeleteLovely!!! I am so glad it did not rain so everybody could enjoy the parade.
ReplyDeleteLoved the little munchkins! : ))
Thanks, Bill, for showing us what it is like "somewhere in Ireland".
: )
Nowhere does St Patrick day like the Irish Bill! So glad it didn't rain, those youngsters look like they are having a wonderful time ☺
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had fun! My favourite shot has that classic car.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun parade! I was admiring the blue tractor and then came the "size matters" one. How funny. You are right, everyone does look like they are having fun.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Bill, for taking the time to take these photos and sharing them with us here. Much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
It's awesome how everyone gets into the celebration, wish we did that here.
ReplyDeleteThat was some parade, in some ways like the small town parades you see for certain holidays where I live in the Northeastern United States. Our St. Patrick's Day parade was about three weeks ago and we had a major snowstorm the day before - crews worked extra hard to get the snow cleared away and the pedestrians appreciated it, too.

ReplyDeleteLooks a fabulous parade, so nice to see folks happy smiling faces.
ReplyDeleteYou were fortunate with the weather - we've had snow in my part of the UK and it's still snowing now!
Hope you have a good new week.
All the best Jan
Good to see lots of kids having fun.
ReplyDeleteHappy St.Patrick's Day!
ReplyDeleteLooks like everyone had fun, Bill!
ReplyDeleteHurray! The rain stayed away & the parade was a great success!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of the parade, Bill !
ReplyDeleteI love these. Our parade - and city - is much bigger but much less purely Irish.
ReplyDeleteLove seeing your parade photos. Don't recognize the 1930s gold car, but the tractors are familiar. The temperatures must have been chilly.
ReplyDeleteA fun event to be sure!
