The Irish got a really nice day for a parade. I decided to park by Harriet Island and go see if I could catch a leprechaun. On the way, I passed by the big river getting ready to overflow its banks. This photo was taken on Raspberry Island a little before noon. The river is full of ice chunks and woody debris. And moving fast downstream. There will be some real flooding in St Paul by the weekend, say the weather gurus.
The parade was the typical St Paul St Patrick's Day parade. Everyone with any Irish blood wore green and marched down the city streets. The crowds are large and some beer was being consumed on the street. The St Paul politicians, including the mayor, were in the parade wearing the green. And there were bagpipe bands.
The rest of the day was sunny and beautiful. Spring is in the air.

That is dangerous looking water.
You have a little green blood yourself, but then you know that.
