Apple Blossom 2006


Just for the heck of it I pretended I was one of the news photographers covering the parade. I took about 450 shots including most of the VIPs and previous royalty, all the way back to the princess from 1936.

I'll post a few of my favorites here, but if you really want to see ALL of them, just click: 2006 Apple Blossom Gallery

Also if you know anyone involved with the parade that might be interested feel free to pass the link along to them.






This dog looked right at home in his shades, I didn't stage that....





The 1954 Queen:


The 1936 Princess:



The grand marshal is Mike Utley, an ex Detroit Lion's player who was paralyzed on the field and now heads a foundation to support the disabled.


This year's Queen:



There were LOTS of marching bands and dancers too:



The Seattle Police motorcycle drill team is always fun to watch, this year I stood right out in the road to take some shots, so I had to watch out not to get hit!



Would you lets your kids shop from this guy??



This girl from Cashmere fell and twisted her ankle right at the beginning of the parade route, her anguish was part pain and part disappointment at not getting to finish the parade.



It was a fun day! To see more click here: Apple Blossom Gallery
