The first thing I did when I woke up in the morning was check my phone to see what the weather was like outside. The app said 21 degrees and mostly cloudy. Sounds like the perfect excuse to stay in bed, but I didn’t. We haven’t had any cloudy days recently and if there was any chance for a nice sunrise, today was going to be the day. I dragged myself out of bed and the first thing I said when I left my house was, “ohhh shizzle”. But in a good way 🙂
No, that’s not fog. I was walking around the Lincoln Memorial trying to find a cool image. I love how the snow has kind of blocked the Washington Monument and the image has really just become about the columns and the architecture.
Peak-a-boo Capitol! I see you!
I did it! I got out of the house and went out shooting. I met up with fellow photographer and new friend, Tricia and headed to the DC. I wasn’t expecting much. The clouds were kinda meh and it was pretty cold out, but we headed over there anyways. We parked right by the Tidal Basin and from the car I could see all these birds just chillin on the ice. Literally chillin.
Tricia and I got out and were pretty excited about shooting the birds. Then all of the sudden they all started flying away. It was one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. Just hundreds of birds going everywhere. I just kept on clicking and clicking hoping to get a good shot.
First light of the day.
Going through some older photos. Here’s one I never processed from Slide Rock State Park in Arizona. I had a great time in Sedona and hope to go again someday.
