Cartoons And Cartons

.

Still going with pix from last weekend's parade and there's plenty yet to show. No new material, anyway. The town looks dull - hardly a day below freezing this winter, no snow cover for more than a few hours, still-barren trees. I need to go out on a photographic scavenger hunt.

I really like the top picture of a man dressed as the comic book hero Captain America. He's got a cheerful, idealistic swagger, just like the country he represents (except, um, we sometimes seem to forget our ideals). Oh, and an exaggerated idea of his own strength. He'll need it when he invades the Soulard neighborhood just down the road.

There was an odd theme for the floats in the parade, the number 3. The woman below was with a group that had something to do with Three Blind Mice. She must have been their Terminator.
