Where is this???

Looking at this picture one may think this is was taken in Italy. I will admit I was in Milan at the beginning of May but this was in fact taken in Dupont Circle in Washington D.C. I used to work at this restaurant and this was our patio. The view was good and the palm trees made it feel as though you were somewhere tropical and fun.

Taking A Break

I am taking a break for an unspecified amount of time. I have done over 100 pictures which was my original goal. I love photography and I have had a great time sharing it. I am planning on returning I just need to take some time to read a good book and to not have to think about posting a picture. Thank you to all who have visited and left comments. I will be posting again soon.

Au revoir

Another Perspective

This is another shot from the top of the Washington monument in Washington D.C. This the world famous White House!!! My previous post of the Lincoln memorial would be to the left if you can envision that.

Someone Special

This was taken in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. There is a large number of steps that lead down to the river so I am shooting looking up towards Ann. A very simple shot but I like it probably because we had a great evening and the sunset was beautiful, what more can I say Ann is a lot of fun to be with.

Washington Monument Base

I think the title pretty much covers what I would say about this picture. Oh, there are 50 flags, one for each state!!

My 100th Post!!!!

Well I made it-I have posted 100 photographs on my blog every single day without missing one. I want to thank everyone who has stopped by to look at my pictures.
This being my 100th picture it grabbed my attention because of the nice warm light, dark red frame and of course the elephant!!! Abstract is what I enjoy shooting the most, thanks again!!

The World Passing By

This is Violet looking at the great outdoors-she is also known as Sneaky Pete because she likes to sneak out the door so fast you don't even realize it. Ah so close to the outdoors yet so far away!!!

View From Up High

This is the view from the top of the Washington monument looking at Virginia which is on the other side of the Potomac river. The Lincoln memorial is at the very end and the World War II memorial is the circular stone structure down towards the bottom middle of the photograph.

Washington Monument

This is the Washington monument in Washington D.C. The white stone of the monument and the blue sky were just amazing when I took this picture.

Flags

Continuing on my flag theme this shot was taken at the base of The Washington monument in Washington D.C. The Flags actually go around the entire base, 50 in total.

U.S. Capitol Window

As I was making my way up to the top of the dome of the U.S. Capitol building I went past this window and saw the U.S. flag flapping in the wind. I really like window shots such as this photo especially when the glass is old and wavy.

Smokey the Cat

This is my diabetic cat Smokey. He gets 2 shots a day to help keep his blood sugar in line, of course I can't say much last year I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes--I digress.... I like this picture because he looks as though he is pondering the great out doors from 10 floors up. He also looks a bit funny as I take the shaver to both of my cats because their fur is just way too long!!!

U.S. Capitol Rotunda & Sky

A while back I got the opportunity to go on a tour of the U.S. Capitol building. This was not the average tour, it was a tour of the dome and the rotunda of the U.S. Capitol building. This was one of the photographs that I walked away with. This was taken at almost the top of the capitol building and as high as we could go!!

Cherry Blossoms & The Washington Monument

I really like this picture of the Cherry blossoms and the Washington monument. I could not seem to get a shot off that didn't include people--but I still like the picture.
