Happy July!
Hope you all have a great holiday weekend and eat lots of watermellon 😀

This past week I had several images of DC starting from the Lincoln Memorial and the Smithsonian Castle.
Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens is a little known spot in DC where there are beautiful summer water lilies.
Just a little bit outside of DC, is Great Falls National Park.
A lot out of DC, in California, is Yosemite National Park where I posted this new image of Cooks Valley.

My images appeared in two different blogs this week 🙂

Again, hope you all have a great weekend and see you again Monday with some brand new images.

This image was actually an accident. I meant to go to the Hirshhorn Museum and take a few images of the architecture there, but it was all closed off. Rather than getting a trespassing ticket, I decided to go a little further and shoot the Smithsonian Castle. I’ve never actually taken the time to explore it, but if you plan on visiting, definitely head around the back and check out the garden. It’s beautiful.

Literally taken an hour ago, the Lincoln Memorial looks good at any time of the day 🙂

Finally, the water lilies have bloomed. I’ve been waiting for this day for two months now and I can’t believe how tall they are. They were probably up to my elbow. I always thought water lilies were just above the water surface. Is that just a different breed?

Out of all the times I’ve been to the Jefferson Memorial (here and here), I’ve never been that pleased with my interior shots. Although all those columns let in natural light, the staute itself is pretty dark and its pretty difficult to capture it with a handheld camera. I figured the only way I could do it was to go really early in the morning, when no tourists are there, and hopefully get a few shots in with my tripod before Capitol Police caught me. It took them about 10 minutes to figure out I was there but I was lucky to get a few shots in before I had to put away my tripod.
