A few weeks ago, the Library of Congress open its doors to the Reading Room to the public. This happens only two times a year, so I knew I had to be there. I had seen the room but only behind plated plastic.

What seemed like a normal outting to the Library of Congress, turned out to take a lot longer than expected. When I got there, I found out there was a suspecious package the the police had to investigated. I waited for a good hour and a half before I was let into the building. It was a little excitment before the main event 🙂

From far away I think this looks like an angel.

Walking around Meadowlark Gardens I found these unusually feathery things. I couldn’t even tell you what they are, but I loved all the water droplets ont hem and all the lines it created. You gotta pay close attention to your surroundings to get an image like this.
