Late Night Adventures

Sometimes for no reason at all, the mood strikes to make a random run through LSU at night.


The quiet reminds me of the beauty that LSU holds beneath the academia and constant motion.


The enchanting forest can enchant the willing.


I do my best to choose a path of adventure, or to step back and capture the moment in a frame.

Christmas Tidings

Christmas comes and goes.
I am grateful for the happiness that the holidays bring.


I think the warmth returns to us in each moment of sunshine.


And the memories are captured in photos


Of my Ugly Betty impersonations.


You're welcome.

Christmas Thoughts

Home for Christmas



With the dancing ladies.


After long work, we come to appreciate the antiques


And the flashing lights.


Now off I go to eat and be merry.

Living

There are many connections to be made these days.


Still, most have always been there. Life can only wait for us to make it happen.

I choose to live in awe of the many wonders.

Before Work

Love a little sunshine in every day.

Festive Foods

Drew's homemade bread paired well with Julie's quick broccoli soup.


Everything but the kitchen sink dipped in chocolate.


And a new face for the holidays.

I love my friends.



Happy holidays.

Kate & Drew Adventures # 1

Friday there was another New Orleans adventure.


The reflections of a rainy night in uptown New Orleans are a classic sight.


Yum.

Sarah & Amber adventures #1

Monday brought lots of adventure and sunshine despite hues of grey and rain.



Sometimes we create brilliance of our own. Personally, I like to sit back, let the situation unfold, and enjoy the ride.


Lola's is a small Spanish restaurant by City Park in New Orleans. The garlic mushrooms - crimini mushrooms were cooked with garlic, basil and a few hot chiles. Peppers are always a great extra experience for those who go for it. It's a shared experience all around to try to explain personal reaction to the heat from the peppers.



A bottle of sangria truly convinces me that wine was meant to be consumed this way. Ya know, I think home sangria with lots of apples and no ends on the oranges will need to happen soon.
We had a chicken, pork and sausage paella as well as an eclectic, traditional seafood paella. The two had highlights and brought to mind the great paella of Spain. It has been too long.


Oh colorful art. I figure if I capture the images of the things I would enjoy in my life, I will move toward actualizing these things. The fact of the matter is: love me some Vespas.


A meandering walking tour led to some unique views of the lives led in New Orleans. I feel connected to this living.


The end and beginning of the adventure met at Sarah and Amber's, a beautiful place.


Always a good message to leave with.

Reflecting the Frost

There are some sights that are peculiar for an early December southeast Louisiana night.



A Hotty Totty for warmth was a request I had never made. However, I discovered that there is a warmth to the beverage that is great. The good help at Chelsea's Cafe can remedy the cold with a Hotty Totty and the focaccia grilled cheese and side of tomato basil soup.


Apparently, a night that you're waiting for snow takes you on adventures and culinary twists.


It wasn't much, but even only a few snow flakes are extraordinary for so early in December, or even at all in Louisiana. Every step was a sight.


And every window and every ride.
