Ah…pretty view on my morning commute. Ooh. Bummer. Nasty commute home in the rain! And not-so-pretty view of the same monument (on right behind trees). I hate a late commute home, and a late commute in the rain just has to be the worst. As I’ve said for a long time, DC drivers start having [...]

Pretty in pink

Between the cold and the tourists, I didn’t manage to spend as much time down at the Tidal Basin as last year. Since I got more of the cliche shots then, I kinda took a low-key approach and did more along the river and down by Hains Pt. Here’s a PDF map of where the [...]
And now for something different

A gloomy morning, but the cherry blossoms are definitely close to peaking. And if I say so, not a bad shot given I just pulled my PowerShot out of my pocketbook and rolled down my car window while waiting for the light at 15th and Independence!
Good morning sunshine

Cat tormenters

A family of mourning doves has been making regular appearances on my balcony. I’m not sure what’s attractive about last year’s dead planter foliage, but this is the second time I’ve seen a bird here. I took the photo at right this morning, thinking it was just the one bird, when one of my cats [...]

I just noticed yet another Flickr function! I’ve known for a while that groups and people have RSS feeds, but I just now noticed that they also provide feeds of recent photos from your contact list. You can choose either all your contacts or just your friends and family. Sweet!

I left for work an hour early so I could stop by and take some shots. This is my fave from today. See all the rest on Flickr.
Flickr collections

Cool! When did Flickr add collections? I missed that one. Anyways, another tool to get you to sign up for their services, since this is only useful for people with multiple sets — and sets are limited for the free service. The image at right is the mosaic I created for my DC Highlights collection [...]
A real snow day

Despite a day and a half of predictions of sleet/rain/freezing rain, the rain snow line was south of DC, and we had quite the morning snow…easily four inches where I am. Alas, that meant my sister canceled my nieces’ birthday party (they turned 12), but they are happy…I’m sure Fairfax County will reward them with [...]
What a great shot!

Kathleen was enjoying today’s unseasonable weather as well. But check out this awesome shot she got!
