Swimming Ducks at the West End Park Pond

A large group of ducks swam in formation back and forth across the pond at West End Park. I also took some video of them. Click on video journal to view it.

More Shots Around the Pond

These are some shots from my stroll around the pond on the eastern side of West End Park. I went on the bridge to capture some detail images.

City Park Rally for Dr. Anna Pou

This evening there was a rally at the City Park Peristyle marking the one-year anniversary of Dr. Anna Pou’s arrest on charges of murdering four patients trapped at Memorial Medical Center during the flooding that followed Hurricane Katrina. Several speakers from the medical community spoke on her behalf to the crowd assembled.

After the Rally and Ducks Island

Folks mingled after the rally. I had to take some shots of the ducks grooming themselves on their little lagoon island.

Spot for Dueling

“This site, history tells us was a favorite location for many duels fought by hot-blooded young blades in the romantic Antebellum era of the South. Here, mostly young French and Spanish gentlemen settled their differences with swords and pistols. This was the field of satisfaction for wounded pride and honor.”

Reopening of the New Orleans Museum of Art

On the first weekend in March, the New Orleans Museum of Art reopened its doors to the public. Having been closed since Katrina there was a weekend full of activities including performances Friday through Sunday.
