  1 Walking up from South Lake Union at 7:30 AM, we caught the raising of the Pride celebration flag. |
 2 Well before the parade started, there was a parade of interesting people to see. |
 3 This guy did hand springs up and down 4th Ave for an hour and a half before the parade began. |
 4 Festivities opened with Dykes on Bikes. (My favorite group of the day.) |
 5 Loud pipes, colorful costumes, and a lot of laughter with this group. |
 6 Scooter folks behind. What they lacked in horsepower, they made up in enthusiasm. |
 7 "Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence". Must be a Catholic order... |
 8 Yowza! |
 9 T-Mobile float with plenty of music and outward joy. |
 10 The Starbucks gang had quite the leader. Yvonne marvelled at his/her makeup. |
 11 Yvonne being a shoe enthusiast, appreciated the look. |
 12 Go Starbucks! |
 13 Seattle Mayor Ed Murray (left) and his husband (right) worked the crowd. |
 14 Dogs have Pride too, I assume. |
 15 Pretty amazing sights and genuine expressions of happiness all day. |
 16 Roller Batman was a crowd favorite. (He wasn't an official participant, just out having a good time.) |
 17 Latino group, but I don't recall which one. |
 18 So. Many. Rainbows. |
 19 Amazon (shown) and Microsoft had the biggest corporate groups. No sign of my employer... |
 20 Naked (well, some were painted) cyclists spun around for a bit. |
 21 They lined up and took a bow for the crowd. I'm glad they faced that side of 4th Ave. |
 22 Just one of thousands of interesting outfits in the crowd. |
 23 I have no idea. The photo opportunities came so fast, I couldn't keep track of what was what. |
 24 R.O.T.C - Righteously Outrageous Twirling Corps. "This is how rifles should be used." Excellent drill! |
 25 We made it though almost 3 hours of the 4+ hour parade before being just plain worn out. Just an amazing celebration. |
