I recently came across a blog commentator's link that directed me to the above picture of the patio at Le Petit Theatre du Vieux Carre in long-ago days. It reminded me of a shot I had done only a couple of weeks before. Same patio generations (and some wear and tear) later:

We Interrupt This Program ...

Please accept my apologies for intruding on this blog with words instead of images. I try to keep my own verbiage out of the picture, so to speak, because I believe this place should be a place for images, and images alone.

Except in the case of the comments you might care to make.

And that is where the problem lies which I wish to address here at this time. I'm hearing that many of you are having difficulties with the inline commenting form I have been using. I apologize for that.

I am switching this evening to Blogger's old pop-up style to see if that makes any difference. If the problems continue, please feel free to drop me a line by email to let me know. Below each post is an icon for this purpose.

I have also stopped the word verification requirement. I seldom, if ever, get spammed, so that should not prove to be a problem. If it does, I'll tackle that then.

I take this problem seriously because the Comments section has proven to be a delightful place where visitors have met with me and with each other to trade their thoughts and ideas about the pictures I have made. I consider it my own  front stoop, a New Orleans tradition, a place where we can socialize with one another and enjoy each other's company. As such, to me, it is far too valuable a place to lose.

Thank you for letting me know about the problem. Let's see if we can't fix this baby before he grows up to be a boor. Thank you.
