E Is for Easter Parade

 

And (Spring) Flowers

I've been behind on the A to Z Blogging Challenge in years past, but I never missed the opeing day. Well, there's always a first, even in my eighth decade. I'm not going to try and catch up, but I'm jumping ahead and with E for the Easter Parade and F for (spring) Flowers, I'm caught up and will move ahead in the alphabet in the days to come. 

Love this creative outfit, made out of MetroCards

I made my regular visit to Fifth Avenue yesterday for the Easter Parade. For anyone not familiar with this the Easter Parade isn't an actual parade. It's thousands of people walking on Fifth Avenue, many of whom with fun and creative hats. Yesterday, as you can see from the umbrellas on display, was rainy and chilly. There were fewer people and many less hats. but I still had had a great visit. 

Pretty in pink hats in Rockefeller Center

Since it's Monkey Monday, sharing a photo of our monkey friend, Pep, and his buddy Harry who were part of yesterday's fun. The lilies were especially pretty in Rockefeller Center yesterday. 

That's our E (and F) post for today. We'll be back tomorrow for "G. I'm not sure where our wanderings will take us on our Here, There and Everywhere adventures, but I'm sure we'll have fun. A big welcome to those visiting from the Challenge. 

As ever, thanks for visiting and take care.

Brings back memories of way, way back in the day. when my mother loved taking part in the Easter parade and wearing one of her fancy hats. She loved hats, and had many. I still have memories of one year when it was a hat decorated with cherries (not real ones).

I watched Easter Parade yesterday and the 1948 had a lot of folks out strolling 5th Ave, which was really a set on the MGM lot in CA.

All I know about the Easter parade is the song, Carol. What a wonderful tradition that you have in NYC. Blessings!

I love the Easter bonnets... I wish they were still in style, but it's rare to see them anymore. Thanks for sharing the Easter Parade! It looks like it was raining. We had rain here too!

Except for the rain it sounds like a lot of fun to walk in or watch a parade of people in their finest Easter outfits and hats.

You can do it! Your posts are always so welcome. You write about things I've heard of my entire life but never experienced, like this Easter Parade.

Those hats (and one metro dress) are creative.
