Christmas Parade, Part Two

Emmaus Baptist Church had my favorite car in the whole parade.
I have a soft spot for VWs. It's genetic.





 Here are a few more shots from Saturday's Christmas parade. 







I was really hoping the Lions Club was giving away cheeseburgers or BBQ instead of candy, but I suppose marching in a parade is not conducive to serving up food. Still, I think this is something they should strive for next year. Isn't it just as easy to toss a cheeseburger as it is a candy cane? Thank you.
















As much as it pains me to say this, I really need to graduate to a better camera. I can only do so much with the standard lens on my beloved friend. This shot has too much background, not enough car. Ok, maybe that has less to do with the lens and more to do with my lack of photo editing zooming in, but still, the time has come. I need to try new lenses which means I need a new camera.















Too much glare on the banner. (I seem to be very critical today. I think it's due to lack of free Christmas parade Lions Club cheeseburgers, a condition known to cause crankiness.)















































Santa Claus made a brief appearance in his sleigh,which was drawn by--what else? A lawn mower. Dear Santa Claus, did you hear what I said about the cheeseburgers camera? I've been sort of good this year. Well, I did the best I could anyway. Thanks in advance. Love,CBW.











I think we need to add a lawn mower to the official county seal.



Although it is very common for me to change topics in a blog post, sometimes so many times your head will spin, it is very unusual for me to mix photos unless there is some common theme or element.

Today is the exception.

The parade photos are now over.

The next two are from the MHS Girls JV basketball team, which is now 5-0 after beating Rappahannock for the second time last night, 25-11. The team is outstanding and a pleasure to watch.



 
Last week's Lancaster game that CB Daughter sat out due to an injury.














CBD at the foul line at last night's home game. Her arm is still bothering her and she still has an upper respiratory thing going on, but she played a spirited game nevertheless.  


There's another home game against Northumberland this Friday at 6.  For the three two very few locals who read, I encourage you to come out and see this talented team.  Every single player is strong.

OK, that's everything fit to print from my world. What's going on in yours?
