Summer is coming . . . .

And I'm looking forward to it. Extremely hot or not - I'm looking forward to it.

This is a picture of my son taken out at the swamps in Louisiana a couple of years back. Welcoming the summer sun . . .

New Orleans Graveyards . . .

Had a fantastic trip to New Orleans. As always, I absolutely enjoy visiting New Orleans. I really miss it, and, being a 5 hour drive away here in Houston, I’m glad I can go back and know where all the really good places are to visit. The good restaurants, bars, clubs, locations and the little quiet festivals that aren’t all touristed up (is that a word? Well, it is now). And, as odd as this may sound, I love the old graveyards of New Orleans. I can wander through them all day – with Ray in tow of course. I would never wander by myself!

The Cemeteries of New Orleans are much like the city itself. They are a mirror to the opulence and desecration of a mysterious and enchanting city. They dance back and forth between beauty and ruin.
