New Orleans City Park

When we visited City Park in February there wasn't much greenery yet but there were plenty of birds. :0) Above you can see an Egret (or Ditch Chicken, lol) and some Ibis.



I think this is a Grebe.



A coot.



Some sort of Louisiana ducks.



A wood duck and some other fellows.







A warbler?







A bluebird.



This fellow tried to hide. :0)





A wonderful fountain!

the Peabody

Pampered ducks! The walk along the red carpet to their fountain every morning, and are tucked into bed at night on the roof. They retire after 3 months service. What a life!















We decided to have dinner at the Rendezvouz, to enter you have to go through the alley - and we were able to see the Peabody at the end of the block.

Turtles, Frogs, and Fish

Nice cool clear water.  We found this fountain in downtown Philly - Turtles and frogs surround the figures in the center, all splashing water everywhere.  This figure has a fish under his legs, a fish on his head and he's holding a bird (goose, maybe?) by the neck.

Pretty weird that the water is on for a while then off for a while.

Spreading LOVE

L-O-V-E makes the world go ‘round.

We had Haden snap a photo of us by the LOVE, but we were a little too shadowy, so we had him snap another.

That’s better. As a memento I got a Love keychain, with a little liberty bell attached.
