Apparently this year Limerick had the largest parade in Ireland. I can certainly vouch for the fact it seemed to go on and on. And Wednesday's was the second parade. The previous Sunday was the dedicated band parade.

I am getting less and less interested in shooting such events, but since I was out enjoying the craic I couldn't help capturing one or two shots. All are with the FA77.

shamrocks and medals



That's my favourite.

The uniform was bright and colourful but somehow I prefer this in mono.


best view in the house



There were lots of cute young children, some getting rather fed up with the pace of events, others happy to be out in a crowd.


look ma, we're in the army

Like the first one the most, the bokeh, the colors, and the nice touch on the pocket

Very nice shots, the colors are great and your subjects are great as well.

Thanks for sharing.

Nice to see a bit of sunshine in Ireland after your rough Winter. I'll be visiting from Canada in May to enjoy the craic in Cork, Kerry and Clare. I particularly like your 1st shot with the sprig of shamrocks.

Thanks all for the comments. I too think the first one is my favourite.
