Ghosts of New Orleans 1

@Lost Valley View: Well then, BOO! ;) And thanks.

@e.: =o) Glad you think so, e.

@Mandy: Thanks for the "brilliant" compliment Mandy. I was just messing around with my software when this one sort of popped out.

@Mandy: Oh you're more than welcome. I am sure your dad must be a great fella to have raised a wonderful daughter like yourself.

@ColNed Pictures: You are most kind to say this. You may notice in the days to come that I've had fun with this ghostly series and entertained myself, anyway.

@tyan: Would you like your coffee with chicory, m'lady? Or regular? ;)

@Olaide: Very nice of you, Olaide. Thanks my friend.

@Craiger: Thanks. It's my one true eartly home; a place in my heart. I can't help it.

@Paulo Santos: I appreciate your compliment.

@bronzebilly u.k.: Glad you think so, I'm looking forward to its unfolding here, too.

@Kheoh Yee Wei: Perhaps, perhaps not. Depends on what degree of realism you're going for, I suppose. But thank you for your suggestion, Kheoh. There is always room for improvement and other perspectives.

@Thomas: Yes, I had fun p'ping this one. Sometimes the finished product is far more interesting than the original shot -- in this case, if you saw the original shot, you'd know this to be true. Thanks.

@Walt: :-D

@amy: Wow, thank you amy. But your last three days' creek posts at your site are what is really great!

@Lorraine: Thanks Lorraine, it's certainly a fitting time of year for the "saints" to go marching in, eh?

@Amir: Much appreciation for your kindness today, my friend.

@Reza: Thanks. I think I did this accidentally one day, just messing with my processing software. Glad I decided to make it a "keeper."

@Rabbit: Thank you, Miz Rabbit. And I went back and read your later, expanded narrative -- with much enjoyment, I might add.

@Brian: Thanks, and glad you like this first one. Here's a hint as to tomorrow's installment. Click, read, and then, wait until tomorrow.

@Betsy Barron : www.thebetsy.com: I'm appreciating this word of affirmation today, Betsy.

@Me 2: Thanks, M2, and welcome to my site. Come back often!

@HorseRotorVator: Wonderful of you to say so!

@Ken McCoy: Muchas gracias, Senor Ken.

@Richard_Irwin: Thanks Richard; please know that I do like your photo today. Somehow I got up on my soap box, and am sorry for going off on my opinions on the topic of hi-rise living. What was important there is your photo and it is very, very good.

@MaryB: "Oh when the saints, go marching in.
Oh, when the saints go marching in.
Lord I want to be in that number;
when the saints go marching in."

@Jen: Oh yeah, we saw this bunch right off...
:o)

@Wolfgang Prigge: So glad you do!
