When the Saints come marching in....

To make things fun and challenge myself

it was use your stock lens day.

18-55mm canon.

I had a really good time with it.

 The French Quarter is baacck! Or on its way.

 I still love the old buildings.

The character, facades and ladders.

I decided that some b&w are in order.

Who can resist a rocking pig greeting people in the front of the store.

It might work for Lou.

 And then there's Jackson Square and the St. Louis cathedral.

It's inevitable that people will be in your pictures. 

So you just have to deal.

 This gentleman's beautiful horn made music on the river's edge.

He was a lot of fun and very personable.

 And then there's this guy.

I'm as speechless as you.

 This cafe looked so pretty. I don't know about the food

I wasn't hungry when I passed by.

 More store and restaurant fronts.

 There's a person in that pink thing and its chatting

with those people.

You can see everything in the square.

 Don't doors, windows and shutters make you swoon.

Have you notice I do a lot of swooning.

Love this shot. 

For being really cold, it was sunny and beautifulwhich breaks 

my cloudy, rainy and moody streak.

Thankfully.
