Fat Tuesday Still Life

I had a visit from my nephew, Michael, on Sunday. He brought me a Mardi Gras gift bag. It contained two miniature Pat O'Brien's glasses, beads, a praline, (I ate it), chocolate coins and a King Cake.
I combined the gifts with the lovely Fleur de Lis pin that Coleen gave me and the baby
I found in the King Cake at the party yesterday to pay tribute to the wonderful city of New Orleans.

(I need to come up with some better lighting than the light under my microwave oven!)

For $10 go buy yourself a contractor light that can take an 100 watt bulb. If you are feeling really flush you can buy two of them. You would be amazed at the great lighting setups you can do with them. And they clip on to things so you can hang them just the way you want them.

But your microwave light did well by you with this shot.

It looks as if you are a party just waiting to happen!
Very nice composition and tribute to the Mardi Gras.

Nice Mardi Gras motif. We New Orleanians have purple, green and gold blood during the Mardi Gras season you know.

I love the colours, which thanks to the pbase connections I knew right away were N O's Mardi Gras theme.
