Fourth of July, VII

Pittsfield, MA

Certainly nothing unusual about people taking pictures of each other as well as the marchers at a parade, it's just become more common with the ubiquitous cell phone camera. Nothing unusual about cheerleaders doing dangerous-looking stunts either. But look at the lower right corner of the second photograph. First time I've encountered someone sketching the action at a parade. He kept the small sketchbook close to his jacket, quickly flipping it open to draw with a short pencil for a few seconds at a time. (As always, you can click on any photo to get a larger view, then click your browser's back button to return.)
