early morning

I just love how the fog simplifies everything. If I were to take this same image on a clear day, you would of seen buildings, the Potomac River, and who knows what else. The fog cleared everything else out and left a beautiful backdrop to highlight these beautiful willow tree branches. Seriously, in love.
Happy Monday! How was your weekend? My was kinda busy but I also made a lot of time to go out shooting. A lot more than I had originally expected but that’s a good thing because it always makes me happy. This was taken Saturday morning. I was super lucky to get the very first parking spot on the Roosevelt Memorial bridge. Don’t you just love it when that happens? Anyways, as I was doing my parallel parking thing, I really enjoyed this view of the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument. So this was taken right in front of my car as the other cars flew right past me.

I picked up a new hobby over the weekend! Actually it’s something I’ve been thinking about for a while now. I’m going to learn how to skateboard 🙂 I had so much fun wakeboarding over the summer but I was not good. Pretty bad actually. But it was a total BLAST. I figured skateboarding could help me get better at it.
So I was over at my brother’s house (like I am every weekend) and noticed my nephews had skatebaords. I asked if I could try and my nephew, Brennan told me that “Skateboarding is sooo 90s”. I told him that I didn’t care and I was going to do it anyways! It was so much fun. Towards the end I was getting too excited by my progress that I fell and hit my elbow and head pretty hard. I just rolled up my sleeves and tried again.
After I left I immediately purchased a skateboard (and helmet) that should be arriving tonight! So excited. More updates on my need for speed soon…
Sometimes people will come up to me and be like, “Angela, where’s a good place to go in DC to shoot fall colors.”
Then I’ll go, “Well, tidal basin is one of my favorites. The Cherry Blossom trees are great in the spring but they’re really awesome in the fall time too.”
Than the other person will go, “Hey Thanks! I never thought about that. You’re really smart.”
And then I’ll go, “You’re welcome 🙂 Glad I could help!”
And that’s how a typical conversation will go when talking about autumn in DC…. or maybe I just made that up in my head because I drank too much coffee this morning. Either way, I’m entertained.

A kind of different view of the Golden Gate Bridge. From this angle it looks so teeny tiny but I think it’s really cool to see how it stands compare to the rest of the city.
