While I’m here at home during the pandemic, I’m taking the opportunity to sort through and edit some of the many unweeded photos on my hard drive. The photos I’m currently working on were taken in New Orleans in 2017 These are some of the photos I took walking around the garden district.

Detail of the famous corn fence (and not the story about a women missing the corn fields isn’t true – the fence was available through a catalog)

I always saw amazing combinations of tree roots, leaves and moss as I walked around the Garden District.

And one of my favorite painted scenes in the Garden District – always blooming window boxes.
