The 126th Annual Rose Parade

Given that it feels like -18˚ outside in Chiberia, I thought it only made since to brighten everyone's day with flowers. 

Hundreds and hundreds of flowers.

Over the holiday, I celebrated New Year's in Pasadena + got to watch the 126th Annual Rose Parade. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the spectacle, each float featured in the parade must be made  out of organic materials only; seeds are used to outline the decorations, fruits and vegetables are used to add texture and variety, and just about every single type of flower imaginable is added at the end to more than the fifty magnificent floats. 

The results are spectacular.

These shots were taken both during and after the parade. I focused on capturing the details of each float, as it's almost impossible to comprehend the magnitude of detail that goes into them otherwise.

Much love,

Emily
