Chillsome breezes and pretty beadses


I'm in New Orleans getting ready to install 'fieldnotes' 
by happy coincidence it is Mardi Gras time
And there are fascinating costumes everywhere

and lots of beads
But I wasn't expecting it to be quite so cold
Good thing I found a coat at a thrift store in Hollywood
