Laughing Gull
We were waiting for the ferry to take us across the river and the kids wanted to go to the upper deck. When we finished climbing the stairs I noticed several Laughing Gulls hanging out on a rooftop just a little above eye level.
The Agony
'56 Chevy, Needs A Little Work
Another shot of my uncle’s ’56 Chevy in that warm, late evening sunlight.
Through the Peephole
Swim At Your Own Risk
This alligator quietly swam by to investigate while we were watching several other nearby alligators.
Missing Window
With it’s partially missing 2nd story window and apparently vacant upper floors, this building, near the Central Business District of New Orleans almost looks abandoned.
Dragonfly in Dry Grass
“Don’t walk through that tall grass,” my Uncle warned. “It’s full of chiggers.” I decided to go anyway; there were some lovely wildflowers I wanted to shoot and I’ve survived worse than a few chigger bites. Two weeks later my ankles finally stopped itching. The wildflower shots were okay but this dragonfly made the itching worth it. If I didn’t know better I would sweat it’s actually smiling.
Rickety Pier
A bird enjoys the safety offered by perching atop the last post at the end of a dilapidated pier.
Climbing Orangutan
This young orangutan climbed and swung on ropes as it played a game of chase with its mother. The photo was taken at the Audubon Zoo in New Orleans, LA.
