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

For the past 13 years, the Heart of Catskill Association in Catskill, New York has organized a public art project Cat’N Around Catskill for cat lovers everywhere! Each year, artists decorate cat sculptures and they are placed on Main Street and a few other locations in town. I first saw the Cats in 2017 when I was photographing in the area. Last month, I spent some time in the Hudson River Valley, so of course I had to check out this year’s cats.
This year, there are 52 cats on display. I had a wonderful time photographing the 48 that I found. I’ll be sharing photos of some of them all this week in a series of blog posts.
And so here they are – the 2019 Cats of Catskill
