Baltimore Christmas parade 2011

                                            Savanna Fisher: Jr Miss Yuletide
                     Mayor's Hampden-Medfield Christmas Parade on Dec 04, 2011
                                                         Baltimore, MD.

 Having spent the better part of my 50+ years in Baltimore, Hampden in particular, driving back there from West Virginia for the annual parade was a labor of love, if you will.

 Always a pleasure, especially since we still have family remaining in Baltimore, the Mayor's parade didn't disappoint this time around either.

 Our granddaughter was on one of the floats (pictured) so missing this parade was out of the question...Besides, I was way over-due for a good photo-opp, and this rolled nicely into the perfect family trifecta; Visit our son, share Savanna's moment in the spotlight, and walk the newest grandchildren down to the 34th St Christmas light-show tour.

 When I unloaded the camera I had collected just shy of a thousand pictures (yeah, shocked me a bit too), and spent the next 2 days trimming the fat and dumping the too-ugly-to-save-with-photoshop shots.
 With just over 200 round-1 survivors, my next task is to find the hidden gems that can be brought to life with a little PS magic, and post them to my various sites.

 Here are a few peeks at the progress thus far:
