St Patrick’s Day Parade – St Patrick’s Festival 2009
RedMum | March 18, 2009THANKS to Pixie a gang of us had great viewing spots on the parade route yesterday, needless to say such a vantage point meant I took about 1,000 pics which will take me a good few days to sort through. In the meantime here’s a taster of some the pics, with more being uploaded to the St Patrick’s Festival group on Pixie as as when I finish them.
Hope you all had a great day, it was absolute bedlam in Dublin, crazy, I have never seen so many people hanging about the streets after a parade, mostly due to the wonderful weather I suppose. Anyway it is my intention to write more about the parade when I get a chance but for now here’s some images from the day.
THANKS , LOVELY PICS AGAIN.
JUST THOUGHT IT AMAZING THAT LEPRECHAUNS
CAN MAKE ONE AND ONES!!
HOPE YOU ARE RESTING TODAY.
Loved the festival, spent more time in town than at home for the weekend, but the crowds and the queueing with 2 small children was more than I could handle, and standing for 2 hrs on Paddy’s day for the parade took the biscuit. It was only when a woman who passed by said all she could see was Leprachaun hats and cameras, did I think yes, that really summed up the parade for me. I understand that these ‘visitors’ to Ireland are on a mission to see the best, but surely, couldn’t they just think about the kids for once? Isn’t there anyway these tall people could give some heart to the mounds of little kids who missed out on seeing the best???
Great moments captured. I was really disappointed RTE showed so little of the parade – about 1.5 hours. Some great floats this year.
Happy Mother’s Day to you RedMum!
