I was searching the internet for some photos of New Orleans' Mardi Gras for my WW post this coming week. I found this photo (and many others), at the site linked below... some of the best photos of Mardi Gras I've ever viewed! If you'd like to see some really beautiful photography and the fabulous colors of New Orleans Mardi Gras, link below and visit...
I haven't been to Mardi Gras in a long time... but I'm thinking of changing that... down here in French Lique...

Beautiful pictures. LOL...I was born and lived in NOLA untill I was 6 and I have never been to a Mardi Gras. Momma would always come back to Brookhaven for a week during Mardi Gras, she said that it scared her, with so many folks going wild down there. And this was the early mid-40's can you imagine what she'd think about it today.

EVERYONE needs a reason to celebrate and Carnival is one of the very best - no matter where!
Gosh, I've never been to Mardi Gras - but I surely should try next year!
Your photo is fantastic.
Happy Pink Saturday!
I have never been to Mardi Gras but it looks like fun and I love good food and New Orleans is food central in my mind. I did dress my blog for Mardi Gras today. What a great photo!
Happy Saturday to you from...

What a colorful picture. There's always Galveston's Mardi Gras too. Happy Pink Saturday!
Went over to see 'So God...' what a beautiful story of Mr. & Mrs. God is good! And I am honored to be featured, thanks.
So is the theme this next WW Mardi Gras?
Blessings, Candy
Saturdays are always a good day for PINK! Have fun....
Hi Dixie! That's a great photo! I haven't been to Nawlins in years, either! It's a "fur piece" for me to go there, as they say in the mountains! lol Have a great weekend...Debbie
I normally don't like Mardi Gras colors the purple, yellow etc combo but these are just stunning.
What a stunning photo! I enjoyed so much your post on the sweet couple who passed together. Very touching.
Very cool photo, happy belated pink Saturday.

INCREDIBLE PICTURE! Thanks for sharing that. laurie
Hello Dixie, thanks so much for your sweet comment at the Back Porch.
I came back by to tell you, thanks for the lovely comment about the scenic photos. Those were taken here at our Lake of the Ozarks place and Bennett Spring State Park. These are located in the Missouri Ozarks.
Arkansas is indeed a beautiful state. We've stayed at Petit Jean State Park and we've toured Arkansas many times through the years and love it.
Our heart is in the Missouri Ozarks, where I was born and raised.
Hi Dixie,
I've been to Mardi Gras but it was years ago. We went to the family friendly parades. I got lots of necklaces and goodies. It was fun. And we did the King cake thing everyday.
Thanks for visiting my blog and becoming a follower. I have a gift for you but I need your email to send it to you. It's in pdf. (I will keep your email private.)
My email is located on my profile page.
Hugs & Blessings,
~Katherine~
