Pirates and Wenches

April 30, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

I’m still processing and recovering from our trip to New Orleans but I just had to share a few pirate pictures. I can honestly say these are some of the best people on the planet. Even if they are a bit crazy. Or maybe because of it. But truly, I cannot imagine a better group…

Frozen Music

October 13, 2011 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

“Architecture in general is frozen music.” ~Friedrich von Shelling~ I was one of those kids who drew house plans for fun. I remember a really cool one I designed which was centered around a courtyard. That was long before I knew anything about French Quarter courtyards which just might be evidence that I lived there…

Thank you, New Orleans!

September 28, 2011 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

Tomorrow morning my friend, Roz, and I will be taking a little road trip…to New Orleans! We’ve promised our families to consider “Thelma and Louise” a cautionary tale rather than a blueprint for our trip.  Now, take a look at this weather forecast, would you? Roz just happens to be one of my more sensible…

City sights

April 30, 2011 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

New Orleans has to be one of the most beautiful and interesting cities to photograph.  Most of the pictures I took on this last trip were with my iPhone, many with the Instagram app.  These look pretty cool and it’s easy to upload them to Facebook so friends can live vicariously through our adventures. However,…

French Quarter Friday…

November 19, 2010 By Deanna Piercy 5 Comments

I will eventually be returning to my usual “French Friday” posts but since I still have pictures to share from New Orleans I thought I’d make this “French Quarter Friday”. The St. Louis Cathedral in Jackson square is probably the most photographed and easily recognized landmark in New Orleans.  Isn’t it pretty? One of our…
