macy's thanksgiving day parade

uncle sam, not to be confused with sam eagle





united states naval academy glee club





spidey coming through





another big apple celebrity, oh mybe it's mary k blige??





energizer bunny, he's a little different ballon, large, but he glides along the ground

 

as people got tired and left the front, i was able to start gettiing closer to curbside and start getting a few shots of the marchers on street level and floats





don't ask me what mr peanut has to do with thanksgiving or christmas, other than the company sponsors him





stewie from family guy?? yeah there's a role model for kids





and hello kitty





and poppa smurf, no not the one on my shirt


if you choke a smurf, what color does he turn??

 

yes virginia, there is a santa claus





kermit takes flight





and i really wish i could have been curbside to photo this, this is ohio state university at miami, and they had a drumline that was just putting it down for the crowd, and the sound reverbs mighty in those building canyons

 

the end

 

Great stuff Gary. ; It was fun to show my daughter the shots, I dont think all of these made it to the tv program. ; Thanks again for sharing!

 

Had to do some real digging through some flickr threads, but it is Joba Chamberlain. ; He is a pitcher for the Yankees.

 

thanks red, see i follow the other team in ny, you know, those hopeless losers the mets

 

I also found the group on the street scene float is Cobra Starship (never heard of them) and I think the guy on top of the gingerbread oven is Scotty McCreery (country music star).
