Parade Watchers

            She's a good sport but she sure does get cold easy!

We had our annual Golf Cart Christmas Parade last night and I grabbed this shot as it was getting ready to kick off.  Niccy and Tater came with me to the rally point at the clubhouse but didn't stick around too long.  Something about it being colder than a well diggers butt in Winter or something like that!

The organizers almost cancelled the parade since we've had pretty much constant rain and cold for the last couple of days, definitely not Tucson in December weather.  Evidently a storm snuck across the border and decided to bless us with copious amounts of liquid sunshine, something that threw everyone for a loop.  But just like the USPS "neither rain nor snow..." would stop the locals from bringing a bit of holiday cheer to everyone.

I intentionally tried to make this shot softer, the weather and the sky just seemed to call for it.  I also believe that ladies like the softer look as well since it tends to hide things a bit better.  False advertising if you ask me but I'm here to please.

PS:
For those in the Show Your EXIF group you should note that the actual lens used is a Tamron AF 18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 Di-II VC All-in-One Zoom for Canon APS-C Digital SLR.  For some crazy reason it always shows up as a Canon TS-E 90mm f/2.8, a lens I've never owned or used!
