It took a lot of pixel dust to come up with this from a simple wall decoration. I think the yellow makes it very New Orleanish.

The Fleur de Lis -- mantle style

The Fleur de List trophy on the mantle is pretty common place on the fireplace mantle in New Orleans.  In my travels about, though, I have seen in several homes far from the Big Easy.

The Golden Leader

I thought maybe we should move from the abstract to a real photo of a Fleur De Lis in action in New Orleans. This is from a Mardi Gras Parade last year. I think it is Toth, but I didn't tag it. (I have to get better at that.)

Enjoy.

Crackled past

How about a crackled Fleur de Lis. I'll be you could walk through hundreds of homes in New Orleans, not to mention France and find time-crackled symbols such as these --the real things. To me it was a matter of using a few filters in the photo editor.

Fleur de Food

I saw this at a recovery site in New Orleans. I thought it was a clever use of the Fleur de Lis in a logo.

Guarded optimism

I begin this blog of daily Fleur de Lis with this fence ornament. The paint is weathered but the FDL stands its guard, nonetheless.
