I was going to post pictures of the May Day Parade, but [livejournal.com profile] springbok1 has already done such an excellent job that I will simply instead refer you to her entry here. I ask you, how often do you get to see a parade with dancing jelly fish? Or a frog marching band? Or a dragon made out of water bottles? Or a giant faucet, dancing on stilts? Or a twenty-foot high water Goddess Mother of the Waters? Note the picture of [livejournal.com profile] naomikritzer, dressed a water lily, marching with her daughter Molly and one of Molly's friends.

We had a great time, although the girls were a little sorry not to be marching in the parade itself this year. We walked over to Powderhorn Park afterwards to watch the Tree of Life Ceremony, where we were joined by my friend Sanjuanita, there for her very first May Day. After that, we joined a number of picnickers ([livejournal.com profile] dreamshark, [livejournal.com profile] minnehaha B. and K., [livejournal.com profile] buttonlass, [livejournal.com profile] lollardfish, [livejournal.com profile] buttonfish, [livejournal.com profile] mizzlaurajean, and doubtless others I am forgetting) and lounged around eating brautwurst and grilled oysters. A lovely May Day, and surprisingly, the rain held off all afternoon.

(If anyone else has posted a report or pictures of the parade or ceremony, leave the link in the comments. Thanks.)

It will take me a while to get to this year's Mayday, but I've been putting pictures up, one a day. You will be interested in this pic of Delia and Nico.
