Volunteer Sharon Walker applies roses to the City of Pasadenas float in preparation
Volunteer Sharon Walker, 64, applies roses to the City of Pasadenas float in preparation for the 117th annual Rose Parade in Pasadena, California on December 31, 2005. Thousands of gallons of glue, millions of individual flowers, and tons of wood, steel, and other raw materials take weeks to decorate and prepare for the annual Rose Parade that celebrates the beginning of the new year. This years Rose Parade will be held on Janurary 2nd and not New Years Day for only the 17th time in the Parades history with Sandra Day O Connor as the Grand Marshal.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo, volunteer Sharon Walker is seen delicately applying roses to the City of Pasadena's float in preparation for the 117th annual Rose Parade. The image captures her dedication and attention to detail as she carefully places each flower, adding a vibrant touch to the already magnificent creation. The Rose Parade, held in Pasadena, California on December 31st, 2005, is a spectacle that marks the beginning of the new year. It showcases an awe-inspiring display of artistry and craftsmanship with thousands of gallons of glue, millions of individual flowers, and tons of raw materials meticulously transformed into breathtaking floats over weeks of preparation. This particular year stands out as it deviates from tradition by being held on January 2nd instead of New Year's Day – a rarity that has occurred only seventeen times throughout the parade's history. Adding further significance to this event is Sandra Day O'Connor serving as Grand Marshal. Photographer Lucas Jackson masterfully captures both the grandeur and behind-the-scenes efforts involved in bringing this iconic parade to life. Through his lens, we witness Sharon Walker's unwavering commitment as she contributes her time and talent towards creating a visual masterpiece that will captivate spectators along Pasadena's streets. This photograph serves as a testament not only to Sharon Walker but also to all volunteers who selflessly dedicate themselves every year to make this beloved tradition possible.
