Thrilled to be Back

Lafreniere Park--Metairie, Louisiana

Slouched down against the wind, this man is happy to be back in the Park after 7 months of it being closed following Katrina. He and his friends were racing their boats once more.






COMRADERIE
They said it has been a long six months with the Park closed and a cooped-up winter.
Bet their wives are dancing around the house .

This is a popular pastime here too. The park looks wonderful Coleen

I thought he was fishing at first, too. :) Excellent shot.

I thought he was fishing at first, heh... that's where my head is, but I could easily get into boating mode--You've captured a moment too long in coming, Coleen.
Guest 05-Mar-2006 19:33
perfect. he looks really relaxed
Karen Stuebing05-Mar-2006 12:26
I'll bet everyone missed being there. Excellent shot and dof showing both the man and the boat. Well, you've got a few months until the next hurricane season. Hope someone did something to prevent a reoccurence of what happened with Katrina.

Looks like fun, wonderful image.
Guest 05-Mar-2006 03:26

Fabulous shot Coleen! Wonderful to see each area slowly get back to the way it should be!

Excellent shot :)
Leo Charette05-Mar-2006 00:54
I dunno, I think I'd rather be in the boat ;) Now what happens when this thing capsizes, humm. Great shot Coleen.

full steam ahead!

Looks like a ton of fun. Life will return to normal and the storm will eventually be only history. Nice image, Coleen.
Gayle P. Clement04-Mar-2006 22:49
Yeah! I'm so glad they could return. I know how much they must have missed their daily meetings.

This one is very nice too but the ducks swam off. :^)
JW04-Mar-2006 19:04
It's a man thing!
Guest 04-Mar-2006 18:41
Nice photo! Thrilled to see yet something else open (at least partially) that used to be a regular part of life pre-K.
Buz Kiefer04-Mar-2006 18:34
Nice, relaxing photograph. Like how you included the waterfowl in the frame. Gives it another pleasing element.
Zak04-Mar-2006 18:32

Katie Chew04-Mar-2006 18:31

What a great way to spend an afternoon! Looks like a fresh wind, too.
