Twirling Skirts

 Following the sign for the Mexican heroes came this group of wonderful dancers who were twirling their skirts in the warm sunlight. They looked so happy and beautiful!

Who Knew?

 I certainly didn't know that there was a large number of Irish who fought with the Mexican army in the Mexican-American war and there was a whole battalion named after St Patrick. I'll show you the Mexican groups that followed this sign for the next 2 days.

Misty

The Shriners always are ready for a parade and they had several floats/vehicles in the St Patrick's Day parade. I particularly liked this wee boat named Misty with all its green.

Under The Rainbow

This is yet another of the murals found along a west-end railway underpass. I love the colours and gentle images in this one as all seems to thrive around the rainbow. The artists for this one are Mo Thunder and Shawna Howe.

People Powered

This contraption seems to be in the St Patrick's Day parade every year, always with different decorations and different people moving it along. It looks like it is quite heavy to move as they have two people pedaling and several others pushing it along. They always seem to be having fun.

Redheads

This was a fun group of Irish Setters who were taking part in the St Patrick's Day parade. I was near the beginning of the route and the dogs were all quite excited by all the people and the applause but I wonder how they were by the end. Usually there is a group of Irish Wolfhounds but they gave the parade a miss this year.

April Theme: Symmetry

The April Theme for the City Daily Photo blog community is Symmetry and for this I chose this shot of a pair of semi- detached homes that I took recently in the Yorkville neighbourhood.  When I was researching the homes I found a shot of them taken a few years ago when one of them was for sale. There were no porch roofs in that shot so the 2 owners must have got together and had the additions done so that each half would be be identical. There are always cars parked on the street in this old part of the city.
