I showed you mine, now show me yours.

Share your city/town/suburb/you name it! Think of this as a photography carnival or photography meme (with or without words) that not only lets you share your part of the world, but lets you visit other parts of the world virtually. If you link up, please link back or post the Sundays In My City button either in your post or sidebar to let people know that other bloggers are sharing their communities too. Happy trails!

Let’s travel the world together!

    We will miss our Chinese New year celebration because we are on our cruise. We had a great time last year.

  • Kathy

    Wow, the colors must have been amazing! Going to have to check out Philly’s Chinese New Year…you’ve got me interested now :)

  • Maggie

    What a great way to generate interest in their BIG full event coming in a few weeks. San Francisco is really one of the premier locations for a full Chinese New Year celebration. Do you know, when I moved to California I lived in the Richmond first. Don’t think I ever stopped by that library though – always SF main as I’d be downtown for work anyway. Great shots as always :-)

  • Joanne Olivieri

    How fun.  I have not seen that troupe before but I love CNY in the city, It is so colorful.

  • deborahpucci

    Sounds like fun! I didn’t know it was The Year of the Water Snake.

    That looks like fun! Hubby and I have been looking for someone to do the Dragon wedding dance at our wedding!
