Just had to Share

I haven't ventured outside of my house too much lately as school has been wearing me out, but I took this picture of my kid and had to share. It sums up his personality pretty well, always searching for the next new thing.

Return to the Mall

Here are a few shots from my first trip back to the Washington Mall after the summer in Salt Lake. 

I never noticed how in the Lincoln Memorial it looks like Lincoln is about to stand up and walk

On a nice day you can see the Washington Memorial reflecting in the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

Up to this point I haven't posted any pictures of human beings, mostly because I never think that my pictures of our species ever look any good, but here's a couple I took at the park today that I think are fun and look alright.

HELP!!!

As a newbie starting out in this hobby I have decided I am extremely grateful for digital cameras with memory cards that hold upwards of 500 pictures. I tend to stand in one place and snap off as many shots as I can hoping one of them will look good enough to print or post. Usually I am fortunate to get one decent shot. Today, I found a gorgeous spot and ended up getting a few decent shots. Now I need your help deciding which photo is the best. Look at the pictures below and then answer the poll I've placed on the right side of my blog. Thanks for your help!

#1

#2

#3

***Update***

The polls have closed and I would like to thank everyone for participating. By an overwhelming majority photo #2 was selected as the reader favorite.

Francis Scott Key Bridge

I woke up extra early this morning to head out to see the sun rise on the Francis Scott Key Bridge heading into Georgetown. Here are a couple of my favorite shots from the trip.

The Key bridge just as the sun was starting to rise 

This is a view of the insides of the bridge, it has this sort of surrealistic feeling to me

Berries growing along side the Potomac 

Boats racked for the winter, waiting for the ice to melt off the river
