Last week I took a 5 day vacation to Washington DC. These shots were taken at the "Eyes Wide Open" exhibit:
Jeremy   Once a student at the school my sister works at.

We visited our nation's capital last weekend, during the peak weekend for viewing (and photographing) the cherry blossoms.  I took 150 photos - these were some of the best.

We took our boys out to a park on the banks of the Potomac River by the airport to enjoy the fantastic weather.  They managed to get filthy in the process (of course!).  They ran, they wrestled, they kicked the ball, and they played with sticks.  In other words, they had a great time.  We on the other hand, are exhausted!  So take a peek and please let me know what you think about the photos.  I've tried to keep composition in mind this time.

Architecture-BWC

I personally love to photograph architecture. To the point that it frustrates some people bcz when I went on trips to London (before moving here) I took pics of the architecture instead of myself and my then boyfriend (now husband). Oops, lol. So here are some faves of mine (though only one is of England).
Holocaust Memorial in DC
 Orpheum Theater in San Francisco
 Church in Oxford, England
and the Golden Gate Bridge in SF

Drive By Shooting

Warning! These are some images from a drive by shooting I was in this week.

I was in Washington DC this week for business. Afterward we had about an hour before going back to the airport and decided to take a quick drive around the the mall in DC. Well maybe not so quick, it took an hour to go about 16 blocks. But it was interesting.

Disclaimer: Shooting from a moving car is not easy.

Here are a few shots.

US Capital Not sure what was going on here. The police had the streets blocked and we saw the bomb squad. Maybe it had something to do with the drive by shooting. Nah, probably not!
National Museum
Jefferson Memorial
Smithsonian Castle

Hi! My name is Dena aka Jellybean.  I just celebrated my one month anniversary with posting on this site and enjoy every minute of it.

 Hmmm....what to tell....I live just outside of  Washington DC.  I am lucky enough to be able to visit my favorite  museums on the weekends.

My favorite time of year is   fall.  I love watching the storms that roll through during this weather.  It also makes the local  waterfalls run.  I love the sound of running water.  

I really enjoy  gardening   and arts and crafts. It helps me when my 6 yr old or 2 yr old have driven me up the wall by either coloring the ottoman (yes, with markers) or wanting me to feed them every 5 seconds.  Growing boys are like locusts!

Anyway, hope you enjoyed a peek at my life.  Let me hear from ya....

We planned a nice quiet visit to the Smithsonian's Native American Museum and the National  Gallery of Art.  We enjoyed the  statues,  famous people, and cultural  art. We also walked by the National Archives, but didn't have time to go inside.  

Imagine our surprise to find ourselves in the middle of the  Million Man March.  We also saw many  Bush protesters.  

Add into the mix a Solar Expo.  Colleges from Spain, Canada, and the US competed to build an energy, eco-friendly  solar home.  (University of Colorado won by the way...)

I hope you enjoyed the pictures!  I had fun just shooting away.  Here are some additional ones...let me know what you think.
cool moon
 evidence of tribes
 many faces of Native Americans
 more marchers

Since it is July 4th, I thought I would share these Washington monument shots. One is from the outside and the other is taken from the top looking out over the Jefferson monumentThe windows were very thick glass, so the quality is just ok. These are from several years ago(last time there).
