Fence Segment on Annuciation Near Philip

Part of a Fence on Annuciation Near PhillipIt was spitting rain on my ride home from work today, but it dried up for my ride to meet K. for dinner. That doesn’t mean the air was dry, of course. It was seriously thick out there. I rode home up Annunciation, and near Philip I snapped this picture of a house lit up, with this tiny bit of fence in the front. Continue reading →

Tiny House on Camp Street Near Napoleon

Tiny House on Camp StreetYesterday’s bike ride found me stranded on Bayou St. John in a serious, serious rainstorm. It was so bad I actually took a ride home. In a car. My touring bike is getting some quality time over there on Moss Street while I ride Rhoda. Continue reading →

Houses in the St. Thomas DevelopmentSchool in session has meant a whole lot more work. I fear my job is getting in the way of my mindless riding around town.

Houses at Vicksburg Near Porteous

Houses in LakeviewI finished up some last-minute work on this semester’s syllabi yesterday and decided to spend the waning hours of my summer on my bike.

Contemporary Architecture at Seventh and Dryades

Contemporary House at Seventh and DryadesThere’s nothing like a ride through Central City to sober a girl up. I took Dryades on my ride down to the Treme today. S. goes in for surgery at 5:00am tomorrow, and I thought it best to stay down here rather than bike down in the morning. Continue reading →

Colorful House at Chestnut and Soniat

Festive House at Chestnut and SoniatPart I of today’s ride took me Uptown for a long-overdue haircut and then over to N.’s house to show it off. I stopped to snap a picture of this house at Chestnut and Soniat because it just looked like a postcard, especially with that impressive palm tree cleverly posing to the side of the house.

Houses Along Audubon Park in Uptown

House on Audubon ParkI spent the day on my bicycle on a long task ride–a visit to the Registrar’s office, lunch with B., the bike shop for a new tube, the grocery for potatoes and other sundries, Human Resources to talk retirement plans. Yep, an exciting day for Rhoda and I! Continue reading →

Metal House at Laurel and Austerlitz

Metal House on Laurel StreetI was tired today, but I couldn’t help taking the bike out for a quick ride.  To a bike shop, of course.  That’s what reading books about bikes at the bookstore up the street will get you.  So I hopped on Jack and rode Uptown to meet up with K., who needed a new tire for her Surly Steamroller.  Continue reading →

Balcony in the Treme

Treme BalconyOne of my very, very favorite things about New Orleans–and surely many places are like this–is how many ways there are to sit outside and watch stuff. Continue reading →
