Blessing of the Fleet

I just noticed this is photo #666...glad there were all those priests and angels and even an archbishop to ward off any evil 😉

I've seen the Blessing of the Fleet in previous years in your and Eeva Liisa's posts and always thought it looks like such a fun event.

@seacreature this was the 70th anniversary Desi and the atmosphere was wonderful.

I thought about this yesterday, then promptly forgot. I love the expressions that you caught on the little angels :)

@beckyk365 @anniesue thanks so much 😊 This is after the boats have been blessed, very loud fire crackers are lit, before they head back to the church. One (other) little girl was in tears at the noise!

@merrelyn thanks Merrelyn- next year! It’s always full of people with cameras and a lot of fun to photograph. Though I deleted 90% of my shots when I got home!
