The Summer of 2020 will have different meanings and memories for people around the world. For photographer and author, Eugene Brill, The Summer of 2020 will bring to mind walks in the park, that is Lafreniere Park, near New Orleans, Louisiana.

“The bird life in Lafreniere Park is unsuspectingly spectacular. Usually when reading a sign that states “Bird Sanctuary” you expect to see a few birds. However, the pure multitude of birds in this park is mind-boggling; the sheer number of species staggering. And, they live, and thrive, in perfect harmony with their human neighbors. My desire is that my photographs give you a sense of what it is really like to spend time amongst the birds of Lafreniere Park.” according to Eugene Brill, nature photographer and outdoor enthusiast. This Coffee Table book features a brief history of New Orleans; and the history, birds and wildlife of Lafreniere Park in the residential suburb of Metairie, on the outskirts of New Orleans, Louisiana.
