These buckets of white roses were waiting to be placed on various Rose Parade floats yesterday.
I drove over to Pasadena to watch, once again, the decorating.
It is Thursday night...the judging is tomorrow morning...the parade is Saturday morning.
and...these roses were still in buckets yesterday late afternoon...
they will finish, they always do!
...and more white roses...
...and more white roses...
There were buckets of flowers of all kinds and colors, but...I LOVE white roses!
I can't wait to see the finished floats on New Years morning...Happy New Year to all of you!
The theme is "white."

What a treat! In spite of growing up in West Hollywood I have never been to the parade or watched the float preparation. The aroma in the work areas must have been heavenly.
Happy New Year, Carolyn!
Gorgeous, how beautiful these snow white roses are.
I wish you and your loved ones much joy and happiness in the new year.
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011!
Wow! They are so beautiful! I've never been to the rose parade but I bet it's a good time.
Happy New Year!
I don't think I've ever seen that many white roses, they are beautiful. Amazing how many flowers they use on those floats. I'd like to watch the parade in person some day.
Your photos are magical Carolyn. Happy New Year!
Flowers as white as snow :-)
A Happy New Year to you and your family!
These white roses are really beautiful. They stand out beautifully against the dark background. I also like how you focused on them. Wonderful bokeh and capture! Happy New Year! I am back on the Bloggers.
Lovely shots of the roses. What a treat to see them decorating the floats. Happy Nnew Year
Pretty roses, beautiful in white. Thanks for visiting, Happy New Year!
Just found your blog and love your images. These white roses are lovely. Better than seeing white snow! It is so fun to see what inspires fellow photographers. I am 'following' you and will visit again soon, and I invite you to visit me too!

How lucky to see the floats. I've always wanted to do that. I had a sorority sister from Pasadena who worked on them (back in the day).
