Surreal Parade

Last Saturday me and Jared went to James Dean festival in Fairmont. James Dean is everything that Fairmount have. So I guess the day of the J. D. festival is the most important day of this little town. We came right in time for the parade, which started at 2 pm. Even though like I said - James Dean - is all that they can be proud off -  the parade included everything, but James Dean. It was a pretty surreal act. It included everything: police and fire cars, political candidates commercial, clowns, church choir, african drums group, Elvis impersonator, different social clubs, symphonic orchestra, truck filled with local country musicians, bikers, old cars.. and more and more and more.. So even though it wasn't someth, that was well-planned and rehearsed it impressed me a lot with it's colorfulness frankness..

here are some pictures

Nature

My today's inspiration is a picnic in a park and a short hike before that. Tree branches of  all different shapes... I've taken several dry branches home. Just dry branches as they are will make a room look different. Dry plants are good too. I'm not a person, who likes to fill a home with useless stuff, but temporary decorations, which can be replaced with something else in future are good. Autumn is the best time for collecting dry nature..
