Memorable Moments

As stated in my previous blog post, Ho Ho Ho!, I made lots of photos of Lewisville’s 32nd Annual Christmas Parade (held on Sunday, December 11, 2016). Although it took longer than I’d hoped to process all the photos — I confess I’m a bit picky — they’re finally ready to be shared.

Lewisville's Christmas Parade gets underway, with fire vehicles and a marching band.

Fire vehicles and a marching band make their way through Lewisville as a child with a Santa cap rushes to pick up candy in the street.

I began photographing where the parade started, in front of Lewisville United Methodist Church, and I eventually made my way to Shallowford Square, where I remained until Santa Claus passed by.

While it’s true that I didn’t actually want to walk any further than that, I mainly realized that Shallowford Square, with its border of lighted trees, could provide a really nice photographic backdrop. But enough of this chatter — let’s get to the photos!

Below are just a few of the scenes from Lewisville’s Christmas Parade. A separate photo gallery contains a total of 68 photos. The LINK to the gallery is at the very end of this blog post. I hope you enjoy the photos!
