I went to the car show on Liberty Day in Columbiana Alabama. 
Peace and love and automobiles

Christy, Jesse and I had supper here one night. There was live music and we dance on the sidewalk.
Back Story
Christy, Jesse, and I took the Amtrak Crescent from the train depot in Anniston AL to New Orleans for a week of adventure and photography. This train station is a classical revival depot and is listed in the National Registry of Historical Places. Jesse loves to ride the train. Heck, we all love to ride the train. We left August 8, 2013 and returned August 14th. Unfortunately Jeremy couldn’t go this time. He had to work.
Christy’s father was kind enough to drive us to the train station and pick us up so we wouldn’t have to leave a vehicle parked there for a week.
We stayed at our usual place, the historic 905 Royal Hotel in the French Quarter. The 905 Royal was built in the late 1890’s.

A Park on Frenchman Street, New Orleans

We spent some time on Frenchman Street while we were in New Orleans. Among the many things we did while Christy was getting a sugar skull tattoo, Jesse and I played in the local park.
It was a beautiful day and we had fun climbing, running, laughing, sliding, and swinging.
Everyone we encountered was nice. Even the drug dealer conducting business on a nearby park bench was friendly.
All things have to end and the park closed at sunset. A gentleman riding a bicycle came through and asked us all to leave so he could lock the gates.

Streetcar Ride

One muggy afternoon we rode a National Historic Landmark, the St. Charles Streetcar, through the Garden District in New Orleans.
This area was originally known and named for the spacious gardens surrounding the mansions. The “Garden District” is now known for its architecture more than gardens.
I didn’t have a lot of time to compose these pictures.
They were taken from a forward facing seat in a moving streetcar.
I was only able to identify one of the homes.

Insectarium

Here are a few pictures from our visit to the Audubon Butterfly Garden and Insectarium.
We are at the intersection of La rue des Insects and Lovers’ Lane.
I love the rare blue crawfish. They are so pretty.
Jesse loved the water and the fish. The Koi were hoping he had some food. I was hoping he didn’t fall in the pool. He didn’t.
His favorite at the Insectarium is the Love Bugs. The windshield has a projection of a road and landscape. He loved driving through it. He remembered it from our last trip. This time he played and played there. When other children came along he got out and let them have a turn. No prompting. We weren’t in a hurry and eventually he had enough and we wandered/wondered to the next thing.
Oddly, a New Orleans butterfly garden is not complete without some alligators.
Talk about excellent marketing. You can’t exit these places without passing through the gift shop. rofl

Red Dress Run Day

New Orleans Red Dress Run is a big party. I didn’t attend, but the runners and their friends were all over the place.
The first pictures where taken on the street in front of the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas.
A runner on crutches? Surely not.
The next group of pictures was taken in the French Quarter.
These people were at Jackson Square.
One of the many street performers is inside the red Solo cup.
This young woman was on the corner near the 905 Royal Hotel were we were staying. She is taking a picture of a street performer playing the saxophone.

A Day at the Creek

Christy, Jesse, and I went to Weogufka Creek. We visited the underwater bridge and Horse Stomp.
oops…
I forgot Spaz. She went with us too.
We were all excited, but nothing compares to the excitement of a child.
Christy and Jesse shared some really fun mother and son time. Of course you can’t suppress an addicted photographer. She got some good shots of Jesse while they were playing.
We had a nice picnic lunch. Christy packed juice, Mountain Dew, Corona, Pringles, chipolata spread, and sandwiches. Yummy! We had to eat in shifts. One ate while the other played in the creek with Jesse. FUN!
One of the coolest parts of visiting here is all the butterflies. We saw so many: big, little, yellow, black, and blue. They are almost always there except in the coldest parts of winter.
Adventures morph into new adventures. We headed home to hook up with Jeremy and have a delicious Christy made dinner: rotisserie chicken, mashed potatoes, and salad.
Pictures were taken with a Lumix GF3 sporting an Olympus 40-150mm lens. Editing was done in CS3.
