This photo was taken in the wee hours of early morning at the Carousel in City Park...all the animals were waking up!

Right in the heart of New Orleans, City Park's a place for all people to breathe and relax. It's a little chilly this morning, but those up early enough are treated to a light show by the sun.

Google's in the Park mapping out some more of our streets and attractions. Instead of the Google car, or Google photo trike, Matt's using the backpack version (seen here). If you see him around the Park today - say hey, Matt!

There are many people 'up north' currently getting snow but we here in New Orleans see snow only on rare occations. The last time it snowed in New Orleans was December 2008 and we will always remember fondly...the Park's oaks draped in white...the Celebration in the Oaks Santa Gator covered in snow...the 3 foot snowmen we were able to make! 

Want to see more photos of the Park in...

Celebration in the Oaks is off to a great start!
