What is a Krewe?
A Krewe is an organization that puts together parades during Carnival Mardi Gras season, in other words, people with enough money to throw away in the form of plastic beads… but fun! http://kreweofthedruids.org

Great photographs! When I was a kid they threw real Czechoslovakian glass beads (the string usually broke if it hit the ground) and aluminum doubloons. We used to take the plastic beads and melt them in cookie cutters in the oven. Stunk up the house – probably caused brain damage, too from toxic chemicals. I think I remember plastic poodles as throws, too, and candy. (That was in the 1960s BTW.)
I was going to say… that seemed like a “few” years ago. Nonetheless, always a great time to be in the city.
Ahh…memories of my years in New Orleans! Thanks for posting these.
It has been a fun Carnival season, plus the extra pounds from all the king cake I have been eating.
I’ve always wanted to go to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. Thanks for sharing.
There is always next year! It is a magical time to be in New Orleans; indescribable.
Very cool – great photos. Would love to make it to Mardi Gras one of these days!
Come over any time… Happy Mardi Gras Day!!!
I was not aware that the time for Mardi Gras is here. Thanks for the share.
Nice capture on the fourth pic.
Your pics are absolutely beautiful!
