Mardi Gras

I feel that I must be honest... this post has almost nothing to do with Mardi Gras.  It wasn't taken on Mardi Gras- it wasn't even taken in February.  It was taken in June.  I wasn't at some party, throwing beads, drinking and eating massive amounts of donuts, I was standing on a path in the summer sunshine chillin' out.  This photograph wasn't taken in Paris, or Barcelona, or Venice or New Orleans... it was taken in Loughlin.  So, why were there Mardi Gras coloured streamers hanging from this railing?  Only the powers divine (and the event planner) know.

If you liked this, I'd like to suggest Courtyard.  Once again, it has nothing to do with this post, but it might go along nicely.

Hey Pumpkin

This photo is from this past fall.  There was a wonderful street market in Madison Square Park in October last year, and the highlight, for me at least, was a wooden house structure full of pumpkins.  Some were the big meaty kind, perfect for a halloween jack-o-lantern, and others were like this, dainty and decorative.
