Scope for Imagination

So parades!  Here is what I discovered - parades are the bomb for taking pictures of people.  Yes, I've been practicing on buildings and statues - and part of that is to get used to the WonderCamera - but part of it is because I never take pictures of things not-people.  Of course the risk is down with people - composition?  Pish.  The storytelling aspect of people steps into that breach nicely.  So I spent well over 3 hours taking photos (and this was the time-loss referred to in the last post - I would not have guessed that it could have been so long) - and I took who knows how many hundreds of photos - I kept deleting as I went along.  But I wound up with 36 shots that I am happy with and maybe 6 that I am particularly happy with - and I'm a sucker for bokeh, so you can guess what many of my favorite pictures heavily feature - or thanks to the glory of technology, you could see them:
