We’ve left Erzulie’s Voodoo Store, strolling along Royal Street. It took some coaxing to get Cora to go into Erzulie’s and she was relieved and happy to leave. Left her a little creeped out, it did. Like most of the French Quarter streets, Royal is a splash of color, heavy on the black, gold and …

The second in a series of photo essays of Grand Teton National Park. I have to admit Cora was quite the trooper that first morning in Jackson, Wyoming.
