NOLA

There is something magical about crossing Lake Pontchartrain into New Orleans. The smells, the sights, the anticipation of what is to come. The city has a spell over me, and I can not wait to get back to her.

At each turn of a corner, there is a new art display right there in the street. Music floats through the air with the sweet smell of beignets. The best is the impromptu jam sessions on Frenchman.

This last visit included the Mardi Gras World. First time I tried King Cake- YUMMY. I learned about the history of Mardi Gras and then got to walk around the warehouse where artists of all disciplines come together to design and build the floats for the festival. Such a fantastic experience.

Below are some of my favorite shots from my most recent visit. Enjoy!
