Default Bagpipes and boats? Nice combo.
These are more images from last weekend in Santa Barbara.

The bagpipes lead the graduate's procession at my daughter's commencement ceremony.

Some water taxis in the harbor. I liked the first one flying the Jolly Roger.

Thanks David, it's definitely something I don't see hardly at all... They played some nice sounding stuff for the occasion.

She went to Westmont? So did my Kym! It gives me shivers remembering hearing the bagpipes from the hills above before seeing the class enter the field. What a nice memory! Thanks!

Great captures Fred. We had a piper dressed exactly the same for my daughters wedding, I think that is the stuart tartan. Her husband is scottish. I was also wearing the full tartan including the kilt. Great captures of the water taxis too. lol.. Hope the pirate one wasn't carrying treasure... Nice work again my friend..

Jake.
