Carmen Blanton, wife of Port Arthur's chief of police, releases a rooster before the annual Southeast Texas Mardi Gras Courir Parade in Port Arthur on Thursday, Feb. 15, 2007. During the parade, celebrants stop at various points to gather gumbo ingredients. Roosters are released for children to catch for prizes at these points.

Nice capture.
Thanks. :-)
Considering how visual Mardi Gras is, I think everyone's going to get tired of it by the end of the week.
Tired of Mardi Gras?! NEVAHHHHHHH!!!
(Maybe because I'd been living on the East Coast the last ten years and missed alot of 'em!)
