It was an overcast day during a recent outing. As I walked by a large stand of birch trees I enjoyed the nearly black-and-white effect even though the world was still in color (and so is this photo).

At another spot on the Columbia River (where I get to walk far less often) there are three tall posts with bicycles attached. They are whimsical and fun and I always enjoy seeing them especially because I’ve usually forgotten they exist. On this day a crow decided to hitch a ride on the handlebars.

The sun backlit the clouds during a recent morning walk along the Columbia River. It was so beautiful. Much more beautiful than this photo can show.

While I walk by the Columbia River in the mornings, I see a lot of different wildlife. Usually it’s birds – a wide variety in fact. However, sometimes I see adorable rabbits. Every single time I see one I squeal BUNNY! . … Because I’m five when I see a rabbit.

During a recent walk by the Columbia River before work I spotted a heron on a rock, head moving to and fro, looking for breakfast. Though I wish I had my camera with large lens, he was still nicely silhouetted against the river. You will want to click to get the large version of these photos or he will just be a dot on your screen…

A place I visit regularly in Washington, D.C., is the National Academy of Sciences building. Outside there is a wonderful area where I often see kids gather to sit on the lap of Albert Einstein. I imagine he enjoys this.

In the waters near the National Mall in Washington, D.C. they have created a number of nesting sites for the various waterfowl. These geese seemed quite appreciative.

At the National Mall in Washington, D.C., there are a lot of waterfowl. During my time there I chanced upon a couple of ducks who were dipping into the water for a snack. This has always made me giggle and whisper (if I’m in a crowd) “DUCK BUTTS!”
These two appeared to be doing a synchronized swimming routine.

I had time recently to walk by many of the memorials in Washington, D.C. One of the most moving for me is the Vietnam Memorial – a wall of names memorializing lives cut far too short. On this day I saw a young boy standing on the shoulders of a man and making an etching of someone’s name. I have in my mind all three are related, and the name he was capturing is a man he never got to know.
