Exiting Popp Gardens

Before leaving the Popp Gardens I took a shots of the backside of a building across from the gardens.

Popp Gardens

When I exited the Dinosaur Adventures I explored a space along Magazine Avenue. A fence separates that portion of the zoo from the street. There’s a fountain in the middle of this garden with sculptures to either side. There are benches to either side from the fountain. A plaque names the space.

The Flute Player

At the center of the garden is another Enrique Alférez bronze sculpture called “The Flute Player.” It is placed in the middle of fountain under an oak tree. It faces a building named The Pavilion of Two Sisters. Special events are regularly held there.
It is named for Miss Ermenia Wadsworth and Mrs. Marion Wadsworth Harvey.

The Zemurray Azalea and Camellia Garden

My first journey was a walk through The Zemurray Azalea and Camellia Garden. The first point of interest was an Enrique Alférez bronze sculpture called “Woman in Huipil.” I followed the walkway to the right and continued around the outer edge of the garden. There is a stage at the other end.

Tomb at St. Louis Cemetery #3

Last Saturday I took some shots at St. Louis Cemetary #3. My family was there for an internment of a distant cousin. For those not aware of the reason for the above ground tombs, it's because New Orleans is below sea level.

The cemetery is along Esplanade Avenue near City Park. This one has a lot more space to drive around than some others in the city. This coming Thursday is All Saints' Day. My family makes sure flowers are places at each of the family tombs.
