The reconstruction and recovery from Hurricane Katrina has been a slow struggle in New Orleans. You still see areas that have not been rebuilt. My cousin lives in the French Quarter which was not flooded when the levies broke. The people who live there did evacuate and they were not allowed to return for some time. Rescue agencies searched each house looking for people and animals left behind. Many houses in the area have not painted over the poignant reminders left by the rescuers. Theme #126 Graffiti.

This kitty was all warm and snug in the window and she was relaxed as could be. I tapped at the window and she would move her legs and twitch her ears, but she would never open her eyes. I get that way sometimes. Theme #258 Relaxation.

Three above-ground tombs in Lafayette #1 Cemetery in New Orleans. Lafayette #1 is one of the oldest cemeteries in New Orleans and it has been in seen in movies many times. I am sure that it is normally a very well kept cemetery, but signs said that a movie is being filmed now. The shaggy grass was perfect for picture taking. Theme #339 Trio.

My mom, sister, and I went to New Orleans to visit my cousin who lives in a beautiful Creole cottage in the French Quarter.
