Two of Chicago's finest . . .

Because it was Memorial Day Saturday on this trip, we got to watch part of the parade being held downtown. This officer and his equine companion helped with crowd control and answered questions from the celebrants.

If you look carefully, you'll see that the browband on the horse's bridle matches the hatband on the officer's hat. Pretty spiffy, eh??

  7. Great idea to make the background b/w to bring the focus to the police man and his horse. Neat that their bands match!
