A parade is a show moving by as one stands still. Spectators must pay close attention so as not to miss the small, special elements that give the whole thing its spark. My goal was to catch those jewels among the steady flow.
There is a technique to this scan and zoom kind of photography that is very dynamic compared to taking pictures of flowers in a stationary garden.
Here is a gallery of my favorite special sparks.
I love the Blowing Rock parade!

Parades are so fun. I had to chuckle over the poop mobile following the horses. 🙂
