I was reading Interview With a Vampire and was in New Orleans! I discovered this display in a store window one night. It looked so much like what I imagined the Doll that Lestat gave Claudia I could almost feel him breathing down my neck. The whole scene was very haunting (to me), so even with the low light, no tripod and my old film camera I had to try and preserve it.
Some noise reduction, sharpening and cropping. (5 years and 3297 days ago)
This little baby raccoon was in the water by our dock and it seemed to be having trouble getting out of the water. We noticed that he/she had a broken leg and was only having the use of the other three. We believe it was attacked by an alligator. He/she was able to get out and I was calling every number I could to get someone out here to help it. Fish and Wildlife said to call the city and the city got in contact with animal control. We couldn't touch it because we didn't know what kind of diseases he/she may have so we just fed it to keep it there. After he/she was done eating it stumbled down to the water again for a drink and then started off to an area of the bushes we couldn't follow him/her into because it's where the gators and snakes are. We waited there for an hour to see if it would come back out and for the the animal control but he/she never did. We left and went on about our day and about 2 hours later I was coming out of my friends house upstairs and saw that the raccoon was on the stairs climbing up to our door!!! Now mind you that we are three buildings from where he/she went in the brush by the water. Made it that far to find us! He/she was struggling so hard to get up there and I immediately called animal control again and the operator said they did come out earlier and looked for about 20 minutes but she will send someone again. They were very nice and had a quick response but told us that they will most likely put the little fella down. :( I explained that it was a very tame raccoon because everyone here feeds them and some you can even pet but he just needed someone to rehabilitate it and they just didn't have anyone to do that.
If he/she did get put down... atleast he/she's not in anymore pain.
I now know about people you can call other than the Animal Control that will help it.
This picture isn't in focus and I had a hard time getting the right shot cause he/she wouldn't stop moving but I still can't get rid of it. (5 years and 3296 days ago)

How far into the Vampire Chronicles are you? (Interview with the Vampire is the first)
@ How far into the Vampire Chronicles are you?
Up to Armand but after that and I lost interest. I have also read the first 3 Mayfair Witches books. I know the two series tie in together at some point and one day I will have to give it another try.
Armand was the last I read and the last in the series.
I thought "Tale of the Body Thief" was one of the best but Interview, the book is definitely better than the movie. "Queen of the damned" movie was a mockery to Anne.
Read half the first book in Mayfair Witches but totally got bored when she started in on the journal. Anne became a Born Again Christian and wrote this novel called "Christ the Lord, Out of Egypt " Her take on his life as a 12 year old. It was interesting. Then she renounced Christianity earlier this year. She's quite a Fascinating woman.
Nice association with such an awesome author. GL!
I didn't know about all that stuff with her and the Born Again ... seems strange for her in a way but then I gather she has had a very strange life!
Thank you for the wonderful comments
She's actually an awesome person, a great humanitarian and a voice in the fight for Equal Rights here in USA.
Oh, and I can see why you might have lost interest in The Vampire Armand" In the book, Marius is a pedophile. Was that was turned you off?
It wasn't so much that ... I found that Anne's writing changed (or I did). And I just couldn't get through them anymore. I really must give it another shot though as I loved her writing so much at one time. She was the inspiration for my trip to Italy (after reading Cry to Heaven).
Congratulations for your beautiful photo!
Thanks all for the votes, favs and comments!
