Easter Tidings

The little chick on this card had big cheeks just like my niece, so I sent her the card for Easter.  It turns out she even liked the envelope.

And it even tastes good!

Happy Easter!

Welcome to the Neighborhood

A sunday stroll through my hood in DC.  Taking in the architecture of Dupont Circle.

A view of DC's oldest neighborhood, the Georgetown area, from the water.  The pyres of Georgetown University's main campus to the left.  I've actually never been there so when you come and visit let's go see it.  Maybe by then they'll have the new metro line done so we can take the train.

The Kennedy Center in the distance.

Guardians of DC on the Potomac next to the Lincoln Memorial.

Sleepy ducks in the tidal basin.

The Organization of American States' building.  I just kind of like it.

The Potomac from Watergate.

Another view of the Potomac.  Maybe this is closer to what it was like when the place was first founded.

Watergate, once home to Condi Rice.

More Watergate.  Also home to the eponymous scandal.

Cherry Blossoms

Today we braved the crowds and took a walk down to the tidal basin to see the cherry blossoms.  Georgie is sad she didn't get to go, but there were too many dogs and tourists, neither of which she cares for much.  She can enjoy the sights from the blog.  As can you.

The infamous cherry blossoms.

Up close and personal.

Reflecting on the water...

View of Jefferson Memorial.

Tidal Basin

Washington Monument from the Tidal Basin.

More Cherry Trees.

It really is a pretty time of year.
