Along the Avenues.....A Stroll through Uptown!

     Walking Uptown at this time of year is an exciting event. Many beautiful, majestic homes are awash in purple, green, and gold splendor. On a recent walk, J & I decided to document the beauty of the Mardi Gras revelry.
     Take a stroll with me in my own neighborhood this Mardi Gras season:

General Pershing

Napoleon Avenue

     I love the creative, whimsical cut-outs on many Uptown doors---crowns, king cakes, flambeauxs--- by Uptown artist Melissa Henry. Check back later this week as I feature these seasonal darlings.
     I am not sure if you recognized one of the houses above...Did you? Yes, it is ours! Here is another pic of the front facade.



Happy Strollin', y'all !
