Cusp of the Storm
In just a matter of minutes, the weather changed. The thin grey clouds became low and heavy. The wind picked up, whipping the Spanish moss around. The trees groaned against the storm. And the photographer was very content with the entire situation.

Equipped laundry
I guess having Maytag equipment at a laundromat is necessarily a guarantee of success: this one was out of business.

In the heart of syrup country
That really is quite a bit of syrup, isn’t it?
I did the math so you didn’t have to. Those three barrels of syrup represent 800, 736 cups. Or 12,811,776 tablespoons.

Her simple gesture
A little sign out on the main road pointed us toward St. David’s Church.
The virgin seems a little defiant at the attention the spotlight is giving Her, don’t you think?
The most interesting thing about this is that it’s 19 feet below sea level.

Carnival Season
We were somehow unaware that our visit to Crowley coincided with the annual International Rice Festival. but that’s what happens when you fail to fully research the places you plan to visit, or don’t even know for sure where you’re going until you get there. So, there in Crowley, the main street was blocked for the festival so we picked our through town and ended up seeing what I guess was the back of the midway. It was an unexpectedly nice view.
Sadly, our schedule didn’t leave time for a visit, which is a shame – it looks like we missed a pretty good time. And we’ll never know who was crowned this year’s Chef de Riz.
