Happy New Year’s!!!!<\/p>\n

Tonight, I went up to Pasadena for a New Year’s Eve Party\/Rose Parade Float viewing spectacle kind of thing. <\/p>\n

It was pretty cold after all our recent rains, but those floats are just INCREDIBLE! They’re made entirely from flowers or flower parts or just botanical this or that, and the attention to detail is truly astonishing. You can’t even believe it unless you get right up on top of them to view it. <\/p>\n

I doubt that a lot of that detail really shows up very well on TV. You certainly don’t get a sense of it from looking at the photos I took<\/a>. Which is really too bad.<\/p>\n

Next year, I might just have to go back with a tripod. The whole street seemed to be lit up like high-noon, but in looking at a lot of the flashless shots I took, it was just this side of too dark for the camera to really manage with handheld stuff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
