Pete and I have been on the prowl again this past weekend locating more of the Fore!Kids fleur de lis. Check ‘em out on our new fleur de lis page. We are now only missing three (well, four if you count the one that was stolen before we snapped its pic — Rrrr).

Hope you enjoy viewing them as much as we enjoy finding and photographing them!

Two of the Fore!Kids fleurs have been stolen. Who would do this? These fleurs were done for charity. For children.

One was Lorainne Gendron’s sculpture taken from Washington Artillery Park (Pete and I didn’t get its picture yet), and the other sculpture was done by Clifton Faust and Aisha Patrice and was located outside of the Arts Council office.

Dammit this pisses me off. Errr.

Well, Pete and I were back on the streets of New Orleans this weekend hunting for the Fore! Kids Fleur de Lis. And we found plenty. Check out the new page Pete is working on to highlight all the Fleurs. We still have some more to capture; I’ll let you know when they get added to the new page.

Enjoy!!

I went to work the other day and noticed this in front of my building. “Interesting,” I thought, “Will this be like the fishes?” A few years back, New Orleans did with fish what Chicago had previously done with bulls–had artists paint them, spread them around town for several months, then auction them for a good cause.

Then I went to French Quarter Fest and saw this on a balcony. That did it. My suspicion had to be right! I could expect to be finding these little gems all over town, and I have been on the lookout ever since.

Sure enough, Fore! Kids Foundation is sponsoring the event. There will be 40 fleur de lis scattered around New Orleans for the next several months. You can read more about it here. I love spotting these. Yesterday, I walked to lunch at Bon Ton (awesome crawfish bisque and Denise salad–lump crab meat and boiled shrimp tails over a bed of lettuce with a delicate remoulade dressing) and ran across this one in front of Le Pavillon Hotel. Then I saw three more on my way home–I will go back when it is not so busy traffic-wise and snap their pictures.

As I see them and get their pictures, I will be adding them here. Maybe Pete can even dedicate a separate page to the project (hint, hint). I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
