<p>I'm new at this, so please bear with me. New years eve my mother told me there there was supposed to be a blue moon that night, so I rushed out side set up the pod and remote and snaped a few pics, but did not apear to be blue to me, so I thought...., that took a while for me. White balance, i changed the w/b to incendecent light. That did it, so now I had a blue moon, well not really, it just looked that way, thanks for looking , oh there is a lot of wonderful pics on here.</p>

<p>I love Nikon Wednesdays. Its a great chance to catch a glimpse of other parts of the world. My contribution is a picture from a local Mardi Gras parade in the small town of Fairhope, not far from Mobile. The lighting wasn't very good, but we caught a lot of beads, stuffed animals, and, of course, Moon Pies! <em><strong>History Lesson:</strong> Mardi Gras originated in Mobile (Alabama USA); the first celebration taking place in 1703, one year after the city’s founding. It was originally called Boeuf Gras (Fatted Ox) and was a time of feasting and revelry on the day preceding Ash Wednesday and the Lenten season which leads to Easter. It’s now known as Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras Day (which is Tuesday, February 16 this year). In 1857, Mobile members of Cowbellian de Rakin Society, formed in 1830, traveled to New Orleans and assisted in starting the Mardi Gras tradition in that city with the formation of the Crewe of Comus, one of New Orleans' most prestigious Mardi Gras societies. Mobile's Mardi Gras ceased for a time during the Civil War, but New Orleans' annual celebration continued, making New Orleans' Mardi Gras the longest running in the United States.</em></p>

<p>I enjoyed all of the wonderful pictures this week. Wednesday's are my favorite! I'm a bit late, a little under the weather. Our wonderful Saints became the Superbowl champs this past Sunday! The city threw a parade on Tuesday (TuesDat as it is known now) to celebrate with the team. My office is smack in the middle of the CBD so I got to enjoy all of the people dressed in team colors and the cars decorated. This car was among the many decked with flags, decals, etc. What a fun time it was, we are so proud of our Boys! WHO DAT!</p>

<p>Great thread!<br>

I finally find the time to summit my humble image. I am working so hard to see if I'm able to buy a few more Nikon toys. Right now I can almost smell a D3s and a AFS 500 mm but nothing is sure until the cash is the bank account!<br>

Anyway, I see there was a snowy theme going on so here is one shot from the street in front of my home. i took this shot from the balcony on the second floor of my home.<br>

Cheers!</p><div></div>

<p>Finally back for some commenting. The photos that caught my eye this week are:<br>

James - Beautiful abstract. I like the blue cast to it.<br>

Tiffany - Nice take on the old nursery rhyme. Too bad we can't see the wolfs eyes as well.<br>

Vineet - Nice job on the sea gull.<br>

Paul B. - I like the perspective. It makes the shot that much more interesting.<br>

Don - Beautiful shot of the Jefferson Memorial.<br>

Hope everyone has an enjoyable week.</p>

<p>Oskar, Boris, thanks for your attention to my humble pic, it's becoming pretty challenging to keep up with the quality of photos we see on these Wednesday threads<br>

It's so refreshing to see lot of snow here, I really enjoy winters, snowy and cold weather, something way different to what we're getting here in desert, blue sky bright sun every single day...</p>
