Theres this special moment in the day. I don’t know if it happens everyday but if you’re lucky you’ll see it. As the sun is setting behind the Lincoln Memorial, about 10 minutes before it goes all the way down, the Washington Monument illuminates. Most people are facing the Lincoln and checking out the beautiful sky there, but if you take a quick second to turn around the Washington Monument is so beautiful and colorful. It always makes me smile.
Right before I left to the Virgin Islands, I joined Walk With Locals for their Midnight at the Monuments instameet. I’ve always wanted to go to the monuments in the middle of the night but never had the motivation to do so until then. So glad I did. You seem some interesting stuff at night including skateboarders at the Washington Monument trying new tricks, girls dressed up for prom at the Lincoln Memorial and who knows what else I missed in the darkness.
Happy Memorial Day! Thank you to all our veterans who served our country. Thank you for our freedom. Thank you for making it safe for me to enjoy the sunrise everyday.

I went out last night to shoot the sunset. We’ve been having such crazy, rainy weather that I was expecting much. But I’m so glad I went because the sunset turned out amazing! Then I ran into my friend, Andy! Which made it even more worth it 🙂
Surprisingly, not a lot of cars around at 6a on a Saturday morning 🙂 I had to wait a while in order to get the light trails but it was worth the wait. Next time I try this, it will be on a weekday.
My friend, Sue and I just booked a super last minute trip to the beach. I can’t wait for some girl time, drinks and fun in the sun. See ya later, rain. I’ll be workin’ on my tan.
