I am spending some time in New Orleans with my daughters and grandchildren. Soon a new grandson will be here. But in the meantime, I took a walk in the neighborhood. A city walk is different from my small hometown walk, so I took some pictures to set the scene. (Don’t forget to add 80+ temps and 60% humidity to your imagination.)
We took grandson Thomas to City Park and walked around the gardens.
My One Little Word for 2025 is Still. Even in the midst of city traffic and busyness, a moment of stillness can be found.

Turtles sun-basking
While heat rises from old stone
