Amarilla_spring04, from Lynn**'s Garden.
This is Lynn's mom's favorite flower. Lynn planted this flower in her garden, for her mom ( who died few years before Hurricane Katrina). For many years it spruted such a beautiful flower but Hurricane Katrina killed it.
You wont believe it, I have never seen a raccoon in real life. My friends used to always tell me stories about raccoons!...how they mess up their pets food. Whenever I heard the stories of raccoons, I used to tell my friends that I think they must be cute (remember , still Ihave not seen them in real life!). One of my friend swore that I would be terrified if I look at one of them.
This raccoon was caught red handed when it was stealing my friend's cat's food, lol.
I was looking at some the pictures which I had taken last year when I visited United States...
New Orleans was one of cities which I visited. The thought of the city pooled my eyes with tears...
----"It looked haunted..." I remember Karen's words echoed in my ears when I was in New Orleans, the city which was supposed to have been rich with nature, last August 2006. I was grief stricken when I saw the numbers on the doors of hurricane wrecked houses. I asked Karen, " Why do they have numbers on the door?" . She looked at me and said, " If you see number on the door that means that they have found that many number of dead bodies in that house." My hand started shaking and I started feeling sick inside my stomach. I wondered how I would have handled this kind of situation ....My heart was beating fast! I looked at my strong friend,
"Karen, do you see any improvement in the city?" I asked her with a shaky voice.
