In case you were wondering (you WERE wondering weren't you?) where all those Mardi Gras beads came from, well, I was able to sneak into this bead farm with my wife and caught this picture of a Mardi Gras bead-tree.All seriousness aside, click on the image above to see the large version. We found this tree the day after a Mardi Gras parade. I don't know who was standing under it, but massive amounts of beads must have rained down on them for this many to be caught up in this crape myrtle tree.
I saw a particularly neat pair of beads and was trying to nudge them down.
(oh, we got out of the bead farm without being discovered).

ReplyDeleteThis post made my morning! Thanks for sneaking into that bead tree farm.
ReplyDeleteI think the purple one would go better with your shirt ;-)
ReplyDeletePS Let me know if you find a diamond tree farm!!!
I have never understood the beads thrown around in New Orleans. I had no idea there was a farm but I thought it was probably in China. I was surprised there was one In New Orleans.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit.
