We all have to endure stuff like rain, snow, and hail in late April or the occasional visit from the evil mother-in-law. Sometimes these things happen all at once, and all you can do is hunker down and ride it out.
Oh well, it builds character. And a bottle of Syrah helps. Let it snow.

first off, i’m an ailurophile and thus love the kitty pics… what do you call one who loves avocados … i wonder??
your photography is gorgeous… absolutely incredibly gorgeous and heart wrenching when it comes to the Katrina images!
i found you last evening while searching for some of the latest Katrina statistics. i could not believe the power of your Pass Christian photos. i sat there with my jaw dropped. totally stunned!
even after being down on the coast and seeing the aftermath (though it wasn’t in the first days), taking hundreds and hundreds of pictures, looking at stuff on the web since day one… i still find the destruction beyond comprehension. i don’t think i’ve ever been so saddened and heart-broken by anything in life other than the death of my grandmother and parents. we have friends in Waveland, Bay St. Louis, and Ocean Springs. Waveland is particularly saddening to see, even this past Feb., things are just awful looking. the hands of progress are plodding along ever so slowly and our Waveland friends (a block from the beach on Oak Blvd.) are now stepping back and reconsidering their steadfast desire to rebuild. there is so much loss and the layers of loss are deeper and wider than people in general just cannot fathom.
also, a big “thank you” for posting the large size, high quality Kat images with commentary!!! just the information i have looked for all along. particularly relevant since i’ve been to those places now. what an insight!
peace,

Hi Gara, thanks for dropping in. I agree, the destruction along the Mississippi coast was beyond comprehension. Your friends’ reluctance to rebuild is understandable — we have several relatives who left the area. For those old enough to remember Camille too, it’s been a recurring nightmare. I’d love to get back there and see how things are going (or not). Perhaps we’ll be able to do that later this year or next year.
The cats send their regards.
