Duck! a Lafreniere Park scene

There must have been some good eats down below for these three ducks to "duck" in unison  --  A Lafreniere park in Metairie, La.

The Soul Queen of New Orleans, Irma Thomas

We made it to Irma Thomas' 32nd Annual Mothers Day Concert at the Zoo in New Orleans.   The Soul Queen of New Orleans still has it.  Her backfield may not be in as much motion, but she can still make you want to dance... and laugh..... and cry.

Oh, and the towel?  That's for the second liners  -- it's a New Orleans thing.
