Snow Day in New Orleans!!!

On Thursday, December 11, 2008 it snowed in New Orleans!! A rare occurrence, the snow started in the morning about 8:15 am. I had a portrait sitting in the afternoon, so that morning was all play with the kids. This photo was taken on the lake Pontchartrain levee near West End.

We stopped near Canal Blvd where the Snow was thick and untouched. Great for snowmen and snow angels!

The Peristyle in City Park was a wonderland when the snow was coming down like salt on grits!

I like the way the red roses showed their colors thru the snow, bringing a black and white photo to life.

A "landmark" on West End Blvd, the house with the blue roof shed its coat of snow quickly.... yet the neutral ground was fluffy and asking for attention.
