New Year's Day with The Rose Parade

Some of the beautiful floats from the 127th Rose Parade, held every January 1st in Pasadena, California.  I find it pretty amazing that everything on every float, (except humans of course), must be made from flowers, leaves, bark, seeds, and other vegetation.  Nothing else can be used, even for the shiny bits that look like metal. All the floats are made by hand by volunteers.  Amazing! (All photos are from Facebook).
