An Angel of A Different Kind                               photo by Elizabeth Gordon

On Jackson Square in the French Quarter of New Orleans there are many kinds of street entertainers, from the musicians cranking out Dixie Land Jazz, to the Artists who hang their paintings on wrought iron fences to tarot readers promising a glimpse at your future.  Four million tourist a year visit the Quarter a year, an amazing figure even considering the struggle to come back from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina.  A teacher with her class of students with lunch bags in hand are entertained by one of the resident angles...this golden angel also has vampire teeth.  The children are fascinated with this unearthly being..New Orleans is like that, there is something always unexpected and magical.
