I Love a Parade!

Look! It's a parade!

It was a fabulous Fourth of July celebration at Penland - celebrated on the second, lest there be any confusion about how I am posting this on the morning of the fourth. There were cicadas!

Kids from a clowning class offered this summer. . .

More clowns.

Warriors. . .

And former warriors.

Red, white and blue. . .

And more red, white and blue.

Throw in a beautiful setting. . .

Kids and puppies. . .

And a bonfire (alarmingly close to the fireworks) and you have one fabulous Fourth. Happy Independence Day everyone!


EDIT: More pics of the Penland celebration (including a couple with us in them!) over at Sawdust and Dirt, the blog of our potter friend Michael Kline.
