parade braids
A little girl and a fire truck: it was a good parade.

snow/piper
I was in Portland, Maine, a couple of months ago – it was one of those places where I felt instantly at home and I am actively trying to figure out how soon I can get back up there.
The first day kicked off with the St. Patrick’s Day parade. Using our keen sleuthing skills* we were able to locate the spot where the bagpipers were assembling on our very first attempt. Yay, us!!

*Mainly our ability to follow the caterwauling sounds of the pipes.
the exchange
In the handful of minutes that I observed this interaction (or exchange, if you will), I made up a whole narrative in my mind.
In case you were wondering.

what is reflected if not truth
The entire block of buildings on the west side Main Street had had a catastrophic roof failure at some point. And the windshields in one of the businesses reflected the other side of the street in a nice way. (You know how I am about reflections.)
For a minute I thought there’d been a fire but then noticed that things inside the buildings didn’t show any smoke or water damage. Also, it didn’t happen recently – satellite images from October 2024 show the damage.
