Whitstable Oyster Festival 2010, first day. Day 205
Categories : 365
Lots of images today, sorry about that. Great day out, never seen the bubble looking so busy. If you’ve never been you should. On all this week too, somewhere to entertain the kids, so much going on. Today we saw the landing and blessing of the oysters. These were then taken on parade through town. Meanwhile at various venues throughout the town you could get the low-down on massaging, creates prints, see art (including the A1 art exhibition!), eat ice cream and drink beer. We also went and watched demonstration on Newfoundland Rescue dogs. They were really stunning dogs, wouldn’t fancy taking one for a walk though, huge things!
Your pics are gorgeous! I love the little girl with the ice-cream! We missed the demonstration on Newfoundland Rescue dogs, but we did get to see the dogs themselves – amazing creatures, aren’t they?!

Very amazing dogs, impressive at how much weight they can pull, although I think they were hampered by the outgoing tide leaving them very little water to play in. Your pics are lovely, fantastic textures.
