NOLA City Park

9 Comments

I mentioned we visited City Park and Storyland on this trip.

Jesse really enjoyed climbing on one of the mature live oaks found in City Park.  City Park is home of the oldest groove in the world.


Catch me momma.


One of Jesse’ favorites in Storyland was the firetruck.



Not all trips to Storyland have happy endings.


Sometimes the story of life involves a few bumps and bruises.  A momma’s love can be a magic cure for most things.

Leak

I discovered a leak in the roof. I wondered where the water came from in the kitchen floor. Now all I have to do is find a roofer before it rains again. haha Wish me luck.

Totally unrelated picture.

Playing on Jackson Square

Friends sitting on an ancient cannon.
One of Jesse’ favorite stops in New Orleans is this cannon.  He loves to sit and climb on it.

Mother and child looking up.
I never asked what they saw. It must have been good. They looked a long time.

Child running.
Catch me if you can!
He was having a great time running, jumping, and playing.

Mother hugging child.
Once in a while he would take a tumble and some mama love would save the day.

We  had a great time that afternoon.  Lots of fun!

Back Story

Christy, Jesse, and I ran off on a spur of the moment adventure to The French Quarter in New Orleans.  We left on Tuesday and returned on Friday. We stayed at the Wyndham on Royal Street.  I was finally able to get a few pictures from above the third floor.  It was quite an adventure.  All trips to NOLA are.  lol

The Rest of the Fish Story

Pictures from our trip to the Audubon Aquarium part three.


Tasty little things.


Peek-a-boo


aaaarrrrrggggghhhh!  Don’t eat me.


A beautiful and deadly fish.


I see you!


Waiting on the rain to stop.

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.

Jellies and Friends

18 Comments

Here are the first pictures from our trip to the Audubon Aquarium.


Jellyfish are one of my favorite subjects to photograph in aquariums.


I was disappointed with the jellyfish pictures I got on this trip.  I just wasn’t able to get many I liked.


Jesse had a great time playing with and around this pressure suit.


We all had a great time playing at the aquarium.

A Day at the Creek

14 Comments

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.
