by hankinslawrenceimages | Apr 15, 2020 | Louisiana

While I’m here at home during the pandemic, I’m taking the opportunity to sort through and edit some of the many unweeded photos on my hard drive. The photos I’m currently working on were taken in New Orleans in 2017 These are some of the photos I took walking around the garden district.

Detail of the famous corn fence (and not the story about a women missing the corn fields isn’t true – the fence was available through a catalog)

I always saw amazing combinations of tree roots, leaves and moss as I walked around the Garden District.

And one of my favorite painted scenes in the Garden District – always blooming window boxes.

After the Dance – New Photo

by hankinslawrenceimages | Apr 13, 2020 | New Photos, Papaveraceae Family, Still Life

I’ve recently added a new photograph – After the Dance – to my website at https://beautifulflowerpictures.com/store/after-the-dance/

In the Victorian Language of Flowers, bleeding hearts can symbolize I want to tell you how I feel. As I created this still life, I imaged a young woman home from a formal dance with her current beau. As she puts down her fan and takes off her jewelry, she is already wondering what she will see him again so she can tell him how much she loves him.

After Mardi Gras in New Orleans

by hankinslawrenceimages | Apr 8, 2020 | Louisiana

I visited New Orleans a shortly after Mardi Gras a few years ago. One of the big surprises for me was how many homes, particularly in the Garden District, were decorated with Mardi Gras beads.

Here are a few of my favorite photos of beads on fences and ironwork in the Garden District

Wisteria – New Photo

by hankinslawrenceimages | Apr 6, 2020 | Fabaceae Family, New Photos

I’ve recently added a new photograph – Wisteria – to my website at https://beautifulflowerpictures.com/store/wisteria/

One of the wonderful flowers that blooms every spring is Wisteria. Caught at just the perfect moment, it resembles a curtain of purple blossoms tumbling down from above. I photographed this bench surrounded by wisteria on a wonderful spring day. This was one of those scenes where I’d tried photographing it for years and until this time had never managed to catch it on just the right day.
