Millions of beads and other throws are tossed from floats during the annual Mardi Gras parades and celebrations in this part of Northwest Florida, enjoyed by a diverse crowd numbering in the hundreds of thousands, as seen in Part 1 of these photos taken at the St. Andrews Mardi Gras in Panama City by Paul Goulding Photography, a subsidiary of The Goulding Agency in Chipley, Florida.
