I used to always be able to count on parking on 22nd street. It was like my little secret spot to access the Lincoln Memorial easily and conveniently without worrying about occupied parking spots. I guess the people at Capital Bikeshare learned my little secret and decided to put a bike share stand there that takes up half the parking spots. CURSES!!! Now theres never parking there.

Oh well, Roosevelt Bridge is more scenic anyways…

Over the weekend I met up with  IGDC​, a fantastic group of photographers for Instagram​’s World Wide InstaMeet and an Earth Day celebration combination. We met at Rock Creek Park​ along the Soapstone Valley Tail​ and we were supposed to be picking up trash along the way. However the girl scouts called and asked if we left it. They’re suppose to be doing a pick up the following week and need the trash there. So there was a compromise and we just picked up the litter at the end of the trail 🙂

It’s a super easy hike if anyone is interested and the views are gorgeous! Have fun next week, girl scouts!

Want to hear something funny? Or at least I think it’s funny.

Typically I’m a pretty calm, laid back person. I’m a slow walker and I like to take my time doing things. The other day, Andrew told me that the only time he ever sees me rush is when I’m out taking pictures. I thought that was hilarious because it’s so true. ESPECIALLY if there’s good light. The sun don’t wait for nobody so you gotta grab your camera and go!

This was taken last night at Great Falls park. A great example of a time where I had to rush.

Finally finalized all my travel arrangements to San Francisco next week! I’ve never been so last minute before. It’s all exciting and kinda hard to believe. So, if you’re in the bay area try to come out to the last stop on Trey’s Photowalk tour. It will be a great time!

Three things that I am grateful for:

1. Celebrating the beautiful life of Donald Hulbert at the Smithsonian Natural History Museum.

2. Discussing my plans for Sphere 2 with some new & old friends

3. #neverforget My family and friends who are safe and for the brave individuals who have risked their lives to keep us that way. Thank you.
