Just a Little Bit Different

You know those Progressive Insurance commercials, with the "Blue Tarp Campers" and "Sandals and Socks Guy", here in the NW we're just a little bit different. That pretty much sums up the annual Procession of the Species, a celebration of the interconnections of all living creatures or something hippy-dippy like that.

Just one of the reasons we love our wool hat wearing, bark munchin', weed eatin' little city.

Who could resist fresh doughnuts (and coffee) and a parade on an otherwise unassuming Saturday afternoon?

First Parade

This photo is titled "What on Earth is HE DOING?"

That's just wrong.

And what better way to "commune with nature" than by congregating in a big 'ol pile of dirt and jumping in it?
