One of the true pleasures of being back in New Orleans is getting out early and often to enjoy the neighborhood on my bike before it gets too hot and humid to even breathe! When your neighborhood includes City Park, Bayou St.John and St. Louis Cemetery #3, you never know what you'll find.
Heading home from City Park, my last park pit-stop was at the Peristyle to have a visit with my lion. I saw this sign when I pulled up. I hoped it said something like: Please don't deface the lions!
Instead, it read:
I certainly stepped back a bit, but it didn't keep me from getting a few shots from atop my lion. I figured I was safe from up there, and besides...he'd protect me! Who'd have thought that we have state licensed alligator trappers in Louisiana?
Happy Hump Day!
