The woman at the piano bar in Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop in the quarter; and a quick sketch of handsome Ben at same locale. (click to see full) Some of the folks hanging out at the Circle Bar on Lee Circle, just north of the CBD. (ditto with the clicking)
Below are a very, very few selects from the photographs I took during our recent trip to New Orleans. I will be adding a rather large amount to my Flickr page soon, but for now... (see link under the third photo for more) UPDATE: There are loads of images on flickr now– click HERE to… Continue reading A smattering of New Orleans selects
TL and Kim traverse a parking lot of leaves after the hike. I think this was the smallest cabin trip since the first (which was only TL and Leddy, in a tent with their heavily-laden bikes in the rain). Sabine was meant to be there as well but at the last had a rush at… Continue reading A trip to the woods

We spent the weekend in Fire Island with some friends; a last chance at beachiness before the true changing of the seasons.

We were up that way over the weekend to visit Ben's family for the weekend, and a bunch of us hiked up the… Continue reading Three Shillings. To counterfeit is Death

This map was in the little visitor information center at Sailor's Haven, a small marina between Cherry Grove and the Sunken Forest, through which we trekked on Monday morning, our third morning at the beach. Following a brief summer shower and… Continue reading All these inlets are of a small depth
