Athena's Savage Garden: April 2011

Monday 25 April 2011

I was at work one day 2 weeks ago, remembering my first two trips to NOLA. 2003 and 2004. I had been thinking how much I had enjoyed it then. It was an adventure. I was also thinking how much the place feels like home to me. I reached into my pockets to pull out the loose change I had, I wanted to see if I had enough to get a bottle of pop from the vending machine. As I was counting this nickle in the picture caught my eye. When I saw what it was I turned it over to check the date of the coin....

.....2004......

Spring has sprung

Cemetery things III

Something about cemeteries draws me in everytime. This is one of my favorite places to visit in New Orleans. I always make it a point to visit the cities of the dead.

New Orleans dreaming III

Through a glass darkly

@}---`,-------,`---`,------------------------

~Through a Glass darkly~

Truth is light,

   Beauty bright
   I see its reflection
   in this stained glass section
   A white Winged angel,
   Presents a lily to a virgin
   "Hail Mary full of grace..."

   I see bright colors, red and blue
   Pale reflections of heavens hues
   Reflections of truth and God's pure light
   Prisms of night in full moonlight

   To have and to hold
   A kiss so cold.
   till Death do us part,
   marriage in art.
   I see through this glass darkly.
