The French Market: New Orleans

Joan of Arc'

I believe she is guarding the market...!

A rainy entrance to the market.

It's a great place to take cover and shop for something unique and artsy.

It's all here!  You may just need to keep walking to find it all.

Art.

We each have our own style?

Across the street from the French Market this building stands.

I wonder if its haunted by any pirates?

We found this little piece of art at the market.

Since my son is a graduate of UNO (University of New Orleans)

I thought he'd enjoy it.

Fluer de lis and all!

St. Charles Ave New Orleans

The St. Charles Ave line holds the world's oldest continually run street cars.

The sights along the way are definitely not to be missed!

St. Charles Ave

New Orleans, LA

Not only does St. Charles Ave offer many beautiful homes

and shopping and educational buildings but it's full

of all the extra accessories like wrought iron fencing.

St. Charles Ave. New Orleans

New Orleans has a high percentage of higher education.

I don't know why I'm always surprise by this?

Many colleges have satellite campus here among other prestigeous main campuses.

St. Charles Ave seems to have a little of everyone.

St. Charles Ave. New Orleans

...Sitting in the upper balcony on a Summer evening

Inviting and elegant!

I expected a Mardi Gras reveler dressed in grand colors to come out 

on the upper balcony with her umbrella and wave.

(she never showed)

St. Charles Ave. New Orleans

Grand.

--It's the only word I can find!

Not very often would I think green shingles would be a choice,

but they get along just fine here with the landscape.

I had trouble with cars and tree and the movement of the trolley to get great 

pictures but even with these obstacles I couldn't omit any!

Don't you just want to have some sweet tea while rocking on this porch?

St. Charles Ave. New Orleans

The balconies are my favorites.

We Northerners or Yankees seldom include balconies in single family homes...

Porches Porches

Porches in the front, in the back at the sides,  I love them all around!

These were some stand out shingles.

Oh my.

I like balconies.

I like porches.

Now it's time to include the wrought iron!

St. Charles Ave. New Orleans, LA

Regal

The trees add just the right level of mystery.

Southern Charm

Sacre Coeur

-Academy of the Sacred Heart-

A Catholic preparatory school for girls

A personal and active faith in God; 
A deep respect for intellectual values; 
A social awareness which impels to action; 
The building of community as a Christian value;

                                                  Personal growth in an atmosphere of wise freedom.

New Orleans -- Cheerful Colorful Homes

A Street Car name Desire 

This book claimed the street cars ran to Elysian Fields but history claims otherwise

in New Orleans.  Regardless -- you can feel the New Orleans descriptions as you 

read the book.  This bungalow below fits the description in the book of the house in 

the book.   

If you're ever in need of a quaint B&B in New Orleans check this place out.

INFO

(sorry for the car ) 

I had to include this ketchup and mustard shotgun home. 

--A New Orleans original

A colorful shotgun with and added floor in the back for more space.

(sorry for the car...)

An orange and purple shotgun home.

I so wish a banjo or saxophone player were sitting on the porch playing a tune...

New Orleans -- Colorful Homes

The colorful homes of New Orleans  fit right in with the city.

Hardly anywhere else would these homes fit in like they do in NOLA.

They are cheerful and uplifting and make you secretly wish

everywhere else would also include more color!

Pink and Green double shotgun home.

Pink and Brown double shotgun home flying their flags proudly.

United States of America flag

Pink Ombre!

Ombre seems to be a new fad with hair and clothing but New Orleans could

be the origianl ombre queen.

Po Boy anyone? 

Orange and Purple double shotgun home.

New Orleans -- In the Quarter

Even the shops in the Quarter keep the originality.

Can you imagine the parties held here two hundred years ago?

Quaint.

As you walk around the streets the unending supply of architecture

leaves your eyes on over load.
