Fremont Solstice Parade, 2009

We had our annual parade in Fremont today to celebrate the Summer Solstice. Generally after the winter ends here people get into much better moods...in some cases bordering on euphoria. This winter was worse than some. Winters in Seattle are not bitterly cold like the Midwest and east coast, they are just long and lightless. Many days in a row of never seeing the sun, plodding through our daily routines under the grey, dun colored sky. When the sun finally shows, as it has here since Memorial Day, it is cause for celebration...which is what the Fremont Solstice Parade is all about. Here are a few pictures I put into a slide show. As always, if you see yourself in any of them let me know and I will e-mail you the still.
