L5P Halloween Parade

Last weekend was the annual Little 5 Points Halloween Parade! Although I have lived in Atlanta for over 5 years now, this is the first year I've attended this parade. Having the ability to walk out of our front door and have great seats waiting was quite a treat too! The parade was everything I expected - the epitome of L5P diversity and Atlanta spunk. Even though the light wasn't exactly perfect for shooting, we tried from our perch on the hill overlooking Euclid Ave. to capture some of the madness. Here are the highlights!

There were two sets of stars for the day at the parade: The kids and the puppies! Both were equally decked out, and there were wings galore! 

Once the crowd started pouring in, we were disappointed not to have snagged closer seats so we could catch more of the doggie costumes. We were lucky enough, however, to have these furry faces camp out right next to us - and they were very gracious in letting us snap away!

As expected, there were costumes of all sorts - for big kids and little kids. Some were sweet...
and some were kinda scary!
These were probably my favorite costumes from the day. So creatively put together! So Tim Burton!



Some kids had just one thing on their minds.... CANDY! Hey, can you blame them? 
Politics for dogs?
The best thing about this parade is that everybody gets to be exactly who they want to be.

These shots give a bit of an idea of the crazy crowds in the streets....
And the most important thing about a neighborhood parade is making sure everybody has had a GREAT time! I think this guy has that covered. Dance Away!


Happy Halloween!

Oh, thanks for this great picture of my dog, Buddy. He's the golden retriever. You even captured a bit of his spotted tongue. Gorgeous shot! :)
