2018 Krewe of Bilge’s annual Mardi Gras boat parade : Photos

The Krewe of Bilge boat parade in the Eden Isles Subdivision in Slidell on Sunday, Jan. 28.
The Krewe of Bilge boat parade starts at the Marina Cafe, passes through the marina basin, goes past the Dock of Slidell and then turns north and enters what is known as the “Firehouse Canal”.

Parade travels North along the Eden Isles side of the canal northward to the East Eden Isles Boulevard bridge where I took these pictures.

The better spot to see the parade (and earn more Mardi Gras Beads) is at the Firehouse on Marina Drive.

The Krewe of Bilge Mardi Gras Parade was started in 1978 by a few Eden Isles residents who decorated their small boats, which included pirogues, and began parading.

Thanks for all The Krewe of Bilge boats  and all the sheriff boats today!

ECOSYSTEM

Positive growth.

Nature, in the common sense, refers to essences unchanged by man; space, the air, the river, the leaf. Art is applied to the mixture of his will with the same things, as in a house, a canal, a statue, a picture.

But his operations taken together are so insignificant, a little chipping, baking, patching, and washing, that in an impression so grand as that of the world on the human mind, they do not vary the result.

The sun setting through a dense forest.
Wind turbines standing on a grassy plain, against a blue sky.
The sun shining over a ridge leading down into the shore. In the distance, a car drives down a road.

Undoubtedly we have no questions to ask which are unanswerable. We must trust the perfection of the creation so far, as to believe that whatever curiosity the order of things has awakened in our minds, the order of things can satisfy. Every man’s condition is a solution in hieroglyphic to those inquiries he would put.
