Nov. 3rd was a beautiful day in Florida for the Highland Games. Cool and Breezy. Sir Daniel was there from Lakeland Florida with his lovely Lady.

Here I am with Sir Daniel

This is Noble President David Douglas of the Egypt Shrine Highlander Bagpipe Band. His is talking to Irene Buist and Michelle, a shriner's wife and daughter from Scotland.

One of the bands playing in the road.

Excellent pics; great to see x-markers meeting up, and to match faces to usernames.
