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!!
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!!!
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.
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!!!
I am always looking for an interesting picture and I think I found it when I got this shot. I find myself looking at buildings, reflections people and light more than I ever have before. I guess all that looking finally paid of!!!
Old Town has so much to offer and right now it happens to be flowers. Please take a moment to check out my daffodil picture.
Doorways--they are always leading somewhere and I find them fun to photograph. Old town has many interesting doorways. This arched doorway is not very bright but makes up for it in character., au revoir!!
I am awful at thinking of good titles so I thought I would name this photo in a similar way that Stuart Davis named his painting that is hanging at the Phillips Collection in Washington D.C. I took this photo on a bright sunny day in Old Town, Alexandria. Through dodging and burning the picture now shows the emotion and feeling that I find enjoyable in photography. I always love doing abstract photography.....au revoir!!!!
Yesterday was a beautiful day in Northern Virginia and the flowers were out. I went to Old Town and started taking pictures and got quite a few that I will be posting in the days to come. I am not sure of the name of these flowers but they grown on what I call a Tulip tree, I say this because the flowers look like Tulips. The back drop is Christ Church which I have photographed and posted here before. Looking forward to your comments--Dave
Every year Waynewood residents with children bring them to the park for an Easter egg hunt. There are three different age groups for hunting the eggs. The youngest kids look for their eggs in the tennis court area. The group that I have photographed is between 4 and 6 years of age. The plastic eggs are scattered all over the grass, when the whistle is blown kids run all around with their baskets scooping up as many eggs as possible. There are probably 200 hundred eggs on the ground along with other goodies--with in 2 minutes everything has been picked up, it is quite amazing to watch kids cleanup so fast!!!
This is a night shot from a couple of weeks ago. This is the Potomac river, in the background you can see the Wilson bridge and that streaking light is from the strobe of an airplane getting ready to land at National Airport.
There is nothing like looking a nice little steam and some smooth rocks to make you think of relaxation. Or it could be that it is Friday either way relax!!!
Who knew that being a being the head of a Post Office came with parking perks!! This is not even D.C. or New York where the parking sucks. I will admit I did have to stop and actually read what the sign said--because I have never heard of a Post Mistress. Like I said who knew, not me!!!
I am posting another picture of flowers to celebrate the official arrival of spring. Of course this does not take the threat of snow away but we are putting some distance into the likelihood that it will snow. Enough talk of snow!!! Anyways happy spring to everyone!!!
Here is a closer shot of the front door of the little Seminary Road Post Office. A very nice red door with a worn out sign saying "United States Post Office." What else can I say!!!
This is the Alexandria Seminary Road U.S. Post Office. I was trying to find some historical info on it but I have had little luck. This is a very small post office and I know it is very old because they don't make them like this anymore!! The fact that it is still open is amazing.
This is my cat Drake, I use the term "my" loosely after all he is a cat!!! Rubbing his cheek bones on corners is one of his most favorite things to do. As you can see by this picture he is in a total blissful state. Life is good!!
It rained all day today and now we are experiencing wintery mix!!!! This photo fits perfectly with todays weather, dreary and out of focus. Sharp crisp photos are what I normally post but I really like the feeling I get from this photograph.
I really like this picture, it ranks very high on my list of favorites. It was the perfect moment, time was captured for a brief second and what was left over is indescribable. Whenever I need a boost I look at this picture, even when I don't need a boost--I still smile!!!
