Camera Critters: Kid Edition

Warning: I am going to inundate you with cute pictures. Watch out! And as always, please click for detail view:








Today I went to a kiddie parade celebrating Earth Day. The parade was fairly small and definitely a small town feel. There were no floats, just people walking with their kids dressed up in cute animal costumes!

BONUS
As this is The Solitary Panda blog after all, I like to spot panda-related imagery to post. The only panda I managed to spot didn't have his panda head on! So I flipped the picture.

Omigosh, too cute! I think the group of frogs -- especially the pouty one -- is my fave!

Bryan said...

Oh wow. I'd take this over floats any day.

I can understand the choices of animal here except for one: the rooster. I've never found them to be cute, intriguing, badass, or anything other than the silhouette that makes noise at sunrise in the countryside. Maybe it's just that I never liked Foghorn Leghorn.

Yen said...

Awww..they're adorable! Love the last one with the panda! My little boy will love that:)

Indrani said...

When I was a kid my mom always dresses me like that for some occassions thatyou have to dress up in costumes. I remember I was a pink pig. Sad.

Nashe^ said...

(Hang on, I'm laughing hysterically at the Lolita's comment...okay done)

I liked the 2nd picture! Was that an Asian kid? LOL!

Ria said...

adorable!!! these are the reasons why i love being a preschool teacher...my kids dress up like this too!!! cute post!!

oh...im glad i stumbled into your blog...i was looking for a pet meme!

Deeptesh said...

Cute...just like your blog n your writings.Took me back 2 my early childhood days.Reminded me of a strange incident...when I used to leave school after the last bell with my friends I used to see kids who had just been admitted....boys n girls all walking 2gether arm in arm to form a long human chain.They knew no gender biases...they were all friends n that's what mattered the most to them.Yet we in the 12th grade could hardly imagine doing that.There were different pockets for boys n girls to hang out....a bit of gender discrimination and when a boy is seen out with a girl, they are tagged as a romantic couple even if they r just friends.Why can't we be like those kids forming a looong human chain?Because we know more than them.....I'd rather be ignorant if that doesn't spoil my simplicity!

Reader Wil said...

Very, very adorable! You're right! Thanks for sharing!

ViennaDaily said...

Oh hahaha cuteness overload!!!

koala said...

I have a pretty weird question. Are you Panda like I'm a koala - because you feel like it, like 'if I were an animal I would be..." or is there some deeper meaning to it. I ask cause I've seen more bloggers with a panda in their nick.

fishing guy said...

Floreta: What a cute idea to dress them up as critters.

Michele said...

Well, I am glad for the warning because yes, these are uber sweet!!
I cannot help awwwwing every single photo!!

I think I should join in this parade. I could snuggle right up into the lion's lap:)

The Demigoddess said...

Oh, right...you're not a kid. Lol.

Lolita - haha, not sad.. CUTE! but i see what you mean.. maybe these kinds of things are more for the adults who oooh and ahhh at cuteness than the pouty kids who look like they hate it :D
