gators et cetera

At the risk of writing on this blog too frequently, I just thought I'd reassure everyone that we had a much better day today and that our swamp tour was awesome, as hoped.

Stories will have to wait for another time. Meanwhile, here are some catch-up pics from New Orleans through to today:

The lower 9th ward
The edge of the lower 9th ward, with a new Brad Pitt house in the background there.

Cool building in the French Quarter

St Charles street in the Garden District

Grabbing some tree-beads on St Charles street

Cypress swamp! Also a Nature Conservancy bird rookery area


Cypress swamps = cool

Old buttressed bald cypress

Alligators in the wild!
Egret

Smiley once again!

    Good to see that the smiles have returned. Nothing like some alligators to restore life to its proper balance.

    Cool pictures!

    That smile looks a little half-hearted to me. But really beautiful pictures.
