I'm amazed that trees are able to survive the severe strangle holds that vines in Louisiana have on them.

Quite a few years ago, we switched to an artificial tree and I enjoy the ease of setting it up, but I sure do miss that smell wafting around the house.

 

I'm not sure what was our last year for a real tree, but this shot is from 2014.

I ran across this shot, of Mother Nature throwing a fit, in the archives that I never even processed. So, even though it's a Fall storm, it seems to fit the kind of Spring weather we've been having.

Even though the it's the park's namesake, I have yet to find a way to get close to the stream that runs through it. This was about the best view of it that I could find.

...because it's getting damned cold outside!

Our kitties all take turns hanging out in this special spot on top of the cabinets in the kitchen. On this day, it was Milo's turn.

 

Happy Furry Friday!... :)

“Baton Rouge woke up Tuesday to the unthinkable: snow falling for the first time in seven years and temperatures in the 20s.

 

At least 6 inches was reported throughout most parts of East Baton Rouge, Prairieville and Denham Springs, according to the National Weather Service. Areas of Geismar and southwestern Baton Rouge had as much as 8 inches by early Tuesday evening when the snow finally tapered, the weather service said.

 

It's likely to be the second-biggest snowfall in Baton Rouge history, eclipsing the 6-inch snowfall in January 1940. The all-time record is 12.5 inches, which crushed the city in February 1895.”

We don't usually decorate until a week or two before Christmas, but, with all the isolation and all around crummy atmosphere of the last many years, we went all out and very early this year. We needed the spirit lifting powers of Christmas. Merry, merry! :)

We rarely see rabbits in the garden, but when one seemed properly protected by the Rabbit Sculpture, I couldn't resist.

I'd never been to this guy's house before, but got invited because of my friends' band playing at the party. This guy was a master host and a grand fellow, who was REALLY into Christmas, music, and fun!

 

Merry Christmas, all!!!

...from the top, down. Since I was shooting with the 14mm (for a change of pace), I would like to have gotten closer, but this was as close as I could get.

I am assuming that this is the entrance to a chicken farm.

I've been randomly going through my Lightroom catalog and deleting a bunch of old stuff to make room for some new stuff. I find it fun to finally process shots that, for one reason or the other, just didn't inspire me at the time. There is a lot of pure junk, but you still find some nice stuff that just needs a little TLC... :)

 

Have a great weekend, everyone, and I'll see you next week...
