But what are the lions doing?
Sure, actually, the red & black lion dance that i holding is the king Lion, this lion will bring lucky to your house and your family, only this lion dance can go inside the house, the others just standing outside to wait for him to come out i go inside the house, open the orange for 4 peace then give it back to the owner to thank you them. Then i go outside and stay together with the others lion to play around the fire cracker and after all the fire crackers are done, i will be the only one eat the lettuce and the lucky money. Then i will come infront of the door and throw the lettuce inside the house to bring the lucky in there. sorry for my bad english, hope it help u to understand if u have any question, please ask, i will help u

Sunday the 24th was the last Chinese New Year's celebration in Philadelphia’s China Town, 10th and Arch Streets. We enjoyed the brilliant colors of the Lions. The beat of the drums, and of course the extremely thunderous FIRECRACKERS!!

Oh that is a beautiful shot! Lucky that it was sunny on Sunday as well--I'm sure that brought out the colors even more.
