    The Scooter

    Blue Scooter – French Quarter, New Orleans

    I bought a new, and larger, disc drive so I’ve been moving images to the new drive.  It’s allowing me to go wander through the archives and what fun it is. I’m finding it interesting how I’m noticing images I don’t even remember taking.  Once I see the image, my mind goes back to those moments. The above image was taken in the French Quarters in New Orleans. I remember seeing three people, just to the right, sitting at a table outside of a restaurant. I can even hear them laughing. And, I have no recollection of the purple wall, that one really surprised me. Kinda cool!

    I start a 4 day trip on Saturday morning and hope everyone has an enjoyable weekend!

    Something Different

    Ready for sampling
    Working on it
    Done!!

    We had a short overnight in New Orleans, arriving late and leaving around noon. It is hot and muggy but I managed to get out and take a walk along Veterans Blvd. This walk takes me passed the past the Chez Pierre pastry shop I visited back in June. On that visit I enjoyed the artistry of the baker and sampled one of their works of art. I stopped in again, chatted with the same lady as before and tried something new. Again, I was pleased. I took it back to my hotel room since the shop is just around the corner. It will be my lunch today. 🙂 You know there are simple pleasures in life. I experienced one yesterday morning.

    Lake Pontchartrain

    As I write this post my mind is fried. Not much seems to be between the ears this evening. Every once in a while I slide into one of these places where fatigue and confusion seem to rule. Anyway I wanted to post something. This was taken back in 2007 along the shore of Lake Pontchartrain in New Orleans. Coleen,a fellow photographer from the pbase website, picked me up at my hotel and took me to a park along the lade for some sunset photos.
