Sonny,

I really like these images. The home shots are worthy of the cover of
Sunset Magazine. The film references are icing on the cake. Nice!

I've been trying to think of some ways to show Natchitoches Spring
flowers
in context without too much landscape, so I thought I'd show you some
stars
from Steel Magnolias.   I was not yet back in Natchitoches in 1989 when
Hollywood came in and took over the town.

They made sets from homes and built a soundstage at the University in a
gym.

You remember that film, don't you?  It was the chick-flick of the
decade.
Nominated for Oscars and won Golden Globe, all that stuff.  You can
hardly
surf cable TV without finding it playing on some channel.

There's even a carriage tour of the locations here.   That's where I'm
going
with this; a short tour of Steel Magnolia locations.   It ain't art, but
might be pretty.
