Had to go all the way back to last year’s Fourth of July parade in Redwood City, and to a sign at the Oxford Botanical Garden, which self visited last May. Guess I don’t take that many pictures with numbers, LOL

Self’s hometown Fourth of July Parade was in-person this year, for the first time in three years. Though crowds were sparse, it really felt like a moment.

You can’t really see the smiles in this picture, but you can feel them. Yesterday, in Redwood City, corner of Jefferson and Middlefield, during the Fourth of July Parade.
It was the first parade since 2019. There was heavy police presence, but the atmosphere was very relaxed.

The Weekly Prompts Colour challenge for this month is VINTAGE RED.
Here are her photos: two are from this morning’s Redwood City Annual Fourth of July Parade, finally back after a three-year hiatus. She decided to add a picture of her Chrysler Imperial Rose, which just started blooming.

Anguish and hope today. The first hometown Fourth of July Parade since 2019 was peaceful. Everything went without a hitch. There were children, and dogs, and grandparents, and veterans. Beautiful weather. too.
But now it is time to focus on home. And Cee’s Flower of the Day.
Her regular readers know this rose. More blooms have opened, but lower down. Which means she had to bend low to photograph these new blossoms. Good thing the rose is right in front of her French doors!

Ugh, self is so, so far behind on this challenge, she can’t even.
The theme this week has to do with wild animals, and the closest she can find to that are these two pictures from the last time there was a Fourth of July Parade in Redwood City, California. The costumes are FANTASTIC, definite works of art.

YAY! It’s been too long since self has joined Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge.
Self certainly has a lot of photos of SUMMER! Which used to be her favorite time of year (Lately, she’s more and more appreciative of FALL)
Her favorite pictures of Summers past are parades. Here are a bunch from the annual Redwood City Fourth of July Parade, the oldest and largest Fourth of July Parade on the peninsula.
The pictures are all of one band in particular, the Leland Stanford, Jr. University Marching Band (fondly known as LSJUMB)
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.
