This is an event that was held in Bellingham, Washington. I took these photos in 2013. The point was ecological with humans dressing up like flora and fauna then marching through the city.

Love, love, loved the Procession of the Species Parade last Saturday in downtown Olympia WA. The whole town comes out and/or participates in it. This little hermit crab was adorbs.

And one of the most clever sculptures of the procession, the skunk.

Some of my video.

Several people are carrying lanterns, some are stars shaped. In the top of the image, a fish lantern with shimmery blue scales on its belly is the focus, though you can also see a narwhal to the right.
In the distance, a red and blue bird takes the spotlight with parade goers in the background. The bird appears to be a hummingbird.
The "hummingbird" of the previous photo takes center. There is a beautiful spiral on the birds beak lit in green, as are the eyes. Various patterns make up the feathers, all lit up. Beneath it are three individuals, all wearing crowns. One in the center wears a rig to assist with carrying the bird lantern.
A parade of lighted lanterns. There is a Crescent moon, an orca, mushrooms and several fish.
My back is mad. Stupid sacroilitis.
But the parade was beautiful! #processionofthespecies #luminaryprocession #olympia
I made cat puppets to wear in the Procession of the Species!
