Washington DC

This past week has been pretty difficult for me. Thunderstorms have been so on and off that it’s hard to plan my photo adventures (it just started storming again right now). The upside to it is that we’ve been getting these amazing clouds. So, once I noticed that there was a break in the rain, I was out the door. I didn’t know exactly where I was going but I ended up by the Anocastia River. I found this bulldozer and I started studying it with my camera. I tried different angles and found I was most excited about this shot.

I knew I wanted to come to the Constitution Gardens for a sunset image because its one of those forgotten places in the mall. It’s kind of hidden and I don’t hear too much about it. It’s a really pretty place with willow trees and ducks all around.

But when I got there to take the image it was pretty difficult. It was hard to come up with a good composition. I circled the pond for a while, until I came up with this image. Hope you all like it.

Thank you so much to Meg from my Facebook group who was able to identify this beautiful flower for me.

This was taken at the US Botanical garden in DC. When I first saw these blooms I was stunned. I never saw anything like this and as you can see in my other image of the flower, you can actually see water flowing out of it. How awesome is that?

I would really like to go back soon to take more shots of these flowers. I loved it there and I know I have so much more to see there.

Did you see my vlog at the Botanical Gardens?

Hey Everyone!
Hope you all had a great week! I did 🙂

Here’s what’s been going on:
I was at the US Botanical Gardens and posted a few pictures: Pink Orchid and Name that Flower. Name that flower has still remained nameless so if you know, please comment below! The flower is beautiful!

I also filmed a Vlog there. Check it out!

I went to visit the Lincoln Memorial again. It’s my favorite spot for sunrises in DC.

Next up was an image from Great Falls National Park. My favorite place for sunrise images in VA.

Lastly, I went to visit the Library of Congress for the first time. Can you say GORGEOUS?! Expect a vlog of that real soon!

I also made a comeback on FamousDC. YAY!

So thats it for me! I have an exciting weekend up coming up and I hope you all do too!
See ya next week 🙂

Wow, how have I never been to the Library of Congress? It is BEAUTIFUL! As soon as I walked in, I was stunned. I would have to say this may be the prettiest interior I’ve seen in DC. I really wish I could of shot the reading room. Talk about gorgeous!

If you’re visiting DC from out of town, one of the best places to catch the sunrise is at the Lincoln Memorial. There’s a gorgeous view of the whole mall and the sun is lights it up beautifully.

My orginial intention was to go and capture the reflection pool with the monument, but it’s closed for construction. I had to go some where that all the cranes and dirt would not be visible in the image. I climbed the Lincoln Memorial stairs and instead of going inside I tried out the right side to see the view. Hope you like the image 🙂
