This is a festival that includes artists from all over Washington. Some share their wares, while others show off their talents.<br /><br />Later, there is a parade that involves all kinds of environmentalists and costumes depicting several kinds of animals and creatures. Imagination has no boundaries in this parade. Bands play their instruments, dancers swaying back and forth in unison, people dressed in colorful costumes are among the vast variety of their interest in natures creatures.<br /><br />This was the first year that we have been able to attend. I wanted to make it a point to come so that I could take some awesome shots of the art, parade and costumes. I was able to capture several good ones. Take a look...<br /><br /><center><a href="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y148/Pokster/Art%20Parade%202005/22.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y148/Pokster/Art%20Parade%202005/22.jpg" height=150 width=200 alt="Musicians Playing A Song Together"></a><a href="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y148/Pokster/Art%20Parade%202005/20.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y148/Pokster/Art%20Parade%202005/20.jpg" height=150 width=200 alt="Cool Sounds On Different Drums"></a><a href="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y148/Pokster/Art%20Parade%202005/19.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y148/Pokster/Art%20Parade%202005/19.jpg" height=150 width=200 alt="Main Drummers Of The Group"></a><br><br /><br /><a href="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y148/Pokster/Art%20Parade%202005/15.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y148/Pokster/Art%20Parade%202005/15.jpg" height=200 width=150 alt="This Young Girl Lasted A Long Time"></a><a href="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y148/Pokster/Art%20Parade%202005/12.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y148/Pokster/Art%20Parade%202005/12.jpg" height=200 width=150 alt="Guitarist Shares His Playing And Singing Talents"></a><a href="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y148/Pokster/Art%20Parade%202005/37.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y148/Pokster/Art%20Parade%202005/37.jpg" height=200 width=150 alt="Large Character Worthy Of Capturing.
