Mardi Gras adornment.. - a photo on Flickriver

            Tina and Adam near the end of the Mardi Gras parade in Port Arthur. Looks like it was a very successful night catching beads - and judging from the grins - a good time was had by all. 

One woman succeeded in "roping" Adam's lens from a float, and he decided that was a good place to hang the beads that he caught, until the weight of them started dragging his focus to the ground.. Tina is really good at snatching the beads out of the air - which in the dark of night isn't all that easy. Especially since you never know who is going to throw them to (or AT) you - or from where.

The cold and wind kept the crowd down this year, but that just meant more beads for those who were there. And there were a LOT more people there than it looks like from this photo.. Plus - the night was young, and they were lining up at the gate to get in for the music and drinking  - the "adult" part of Mardi Gras..
