I always seem to be cutting it close to the deadline to join in with Sandie at “itchifingers” for her 5 in 5. I actually had several subjects I could have chosen this month, all from our trip to New Orleans, but decided on the street music on Royal Street in the French Quarter. Tracy and I stayed an extra day after everyone else went home, and I’m so glad we did. We spent the morning in the Garden District and had a fabulous lunch there, and then took the streetcar down St. Charles St. to the French Quarter. Royal Street was our favorite place to stroll, and this particular Monday afternoon, the street music was wonderful. Everyone talks about Bourbon Street being the place for music, but we heard much more, and better, music on Royal Street every day we were in the French Quarter. Love these dancers, too.
And a second group just a short distance away.
I have one more group I want to share. They weren’t in the five minute period because they were on the next block, but I loved their music, and the singer was just so cute! (And good!)
I have several other photos of individual musicians as well, and think I’ll put the photos in a collage for April’s Project Life pages. They’re such an iconic part of the French Quarter in New Orleans.
oh, oh, I want to be there – New Orleans just jumped several places up my list of places I’d love to visit
Oh these are brilliant. You have really captured the atmosphere of this. You can see the movement of their bodies and I love the girl’s hair in picture three. I have one complaint. I can’t hear them.
I just can’t help but smile, looking at these. What an energising, uplifting set.
Wow that does look an amazing trip Karen. I love the energy that shows in these photos and the young people dancing – so refreshing to see. I had to smile at the washboard, I remember my uncle having one of these! It looks very vibrant and interesting place to go, thank you for sharing and for taking part this month. I imagine you have some wonderful photos now to scrap and enjoy.
Cheerful & energizing – great share.
How wonderful … It looks like such an enlivening, interesting place. I really want to visit one day! You’ve captured great action shots.
Such great shots!
Beautiful moments and photos!
My favorite in New orleans!
Only in “N’awlins” – as the natives say – does one find good food for the soul: music, food, sights, sounds. Fun photos and almost as good as being there!
Cheers~
