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. :-) Hi Gara, thanks for dropping in.

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, gara in oxford, ms first off, i’m an ailurophile and thus love the kitty pics… what do you call one who loves avocados … i wonder??
