1st King Cake of the season!

Ahhhh, my first cream-cheese-filled King Cake of the 2009 Mardi Gras season! A little round pastry of heaven. They have many, many flavor-filled King Cakes, but there is nothing that compares to the heavy, ridiculously rich and sinful cream-cheese filled one. Yummy! One of my resolutions is to experience my awesome city more, and to really get to know it....and we begin with the biggest, most decadent, and crazy party on earth....Mardi Gras!

Quiet Serenity











I love capturing these soft quiet images. These will all be studies for future paintings and art pieces.

the French Quarter Muses


I got a bunch of cool shots when I went into the quarter with the fam...I'm loving this one, and it may end up being a painting of sorts! I love that patina...the color is brilliant!

Gumball Machine Jesus and His Crew






I totally found the Holy Grail of gumball machines the other day, filled with all these little plastic Jesus's, Mary's, Virgin's of Guadalupe, etc. so, of course, I had to get a few! I can't wait to include them into some art projects!!!! And although I love Gumball Machine Jesus, and his cohorts Virgin of Guadalupe, and I-forget-his-name, I truly love my Mary with the Man Hands! LOL

Magnolias






The magnolia tree at my brother's house...

Broken Wing






I got some neat shots at the Covington cemetery the other day, including these of a little angel with a broken wing. I found her wing on the ground a few yards away....
