Pine cone guy is really cool but I'd really like one of those hula girl outfits for myself...

Is that a yellow ladybug or what?! You got some great people shots. Wow, I'm going to link to you from my blog, tell folks to come see your Fasching photos! Especially since I didn't make it to the parade this year.
p.s. Thanks for the walk today, Strahlenburg is beautiful.

Hi all, thanks for the comments.

The lady bug dude in the fasching photos was hysterical! He was actually some kind of virus...he had a sprayer like for windex with booze in it..that tasted like windex, but the things you do to get great photos...bleck...then he put a sticker on you, like his spots saying you now had the virus....!!! FUNNY! I also had to drink some pepper infused liquor handed out on a two handled board....You have to sacrifice for your art ya know. ;)
Thanks for the encouragement!
