The 2011 Austin Pride parade encircled our downtown neighborhood this morning.
The parade featured many floats which were colorful…
…and creative.
Churches of all denominations walked…
…and showed their support.
Contingents from businesses such as IBM…
…and Wells Fargo participated too.
Some groups danced through the streets…
…and some skated, including the Lonestar Rollergirls.
We had never been at a parade with so many give-aways. Plastic beads were popular.
Bystanders needed to stay alert as Whole Food’s bananas were flying through the air.
Bill and I enjoyed standing next to some very enthusiastic parade-watchers…
…who attracted a lot of attention and collected a lot of give-aways!
