Seeing the Sights: #VisitLakeCharles Photo of the Month

Growing up, my parents would load my sister and me up to go for rides through the Kisatchie National Forest in Central Louisiana. When we could, my sister and I would opt to ride in the bed of the pickup truck. I loved feeling the wind and sun on my face, and it gave me the best view of the trees and wildflowers along the side of the road as well

I love seeing our city from the sky. Aerial photography is so cool! So many of photographers and “instagrammers” (both locals and visitors) are using drones to capture breathtaking new perspectives of our city. Like this one from Photo of the Month winner, Michael. “I wanted to capture a relatable image; an image that featured institutions and

Every year when crawfish season rolls around, people are rushing to the nearest restaurant or boil stop to enjoy a couple of pounds. And, believe me, people are enjoying them! I must see dozens of crawfish platters come across my social feeds. And I’m not mad about it! It was this one crawfish picture that really got my attention. Shared by first

It’s the first Photo of the Month of 2018 and it’s stellar! I’ve boasted about Lake Charles’ incredible sunrises and sunsets, but it’s not very often that I find a night sky photo that really wows me. Being a city with several industries and thousands of residents, our night skies are often masked by man-made lights. Houston native, Bailey Louden

It’s not very often that it snows in Louisiana, but when it does, you should definitely get out and enjoy the wintery goodness. Of course, since we’re in Louisiana, it’s only fitting that we put our unique twist on things, and that’s exactly what Callie Gordon ( @catchingcallie ) did with her “snow gator” creation! “This photo was taken during my

Before you know it, Christmas lights and garland will be switched out for the glitzy Mardi Gras feathers, beads and doubloons! All of the hustle and bustle during this time of year can make you feel stressed and worn out. It’s important to take the time to decompress, unwind and reduce the stress that comes with the holiday season. For me, going on

This year, Lake Charles celebrated 150 years of being a city. The city closed out the community celebrations with a huge firework show that ROCKED THE LAKE! We’ve got a lot to be proud of here in Southwest Louisiana. People travel from near and far to experience our great city. I know when I have family visiting, they talk about how much fun they

Posted In: Arts

I found this month’s Photo of the Month shortly have Hurricane Harvey hit Texas and parts of Southwest Louisiana. We read all the stories about the great Cajun Navy and a slew of volunteers from all over the state making their way to Texas and affected Louisiana areas to help. And for those of us who could not physically help, we pitched in with

How often do you recall a memory, only to hear friends or family tell you that is not how they remember it or “That didn’t happen!” Or maybe you have to do a double take out the window or down the hall because you could have sworn you’ve seen something other than what was actually there? Happens to me all the time. Sometimes the alternative

Let’s be honest, our pets are family. Wherever we go, they go. This is especially true for my pup. And just like me, I imagine she enjoys a “vacation” from the day-to-day routines. I try to treat her once in a while. One of our favorite things about Lake Charles is the walkability of the historic districts , downtown area and the local parks to
