Can you guess where the Patricks
went on spring break?
Many moons ago, I took Monte (my
son, age 7) to Washington D.C. It
was a total “guy trip.” We had a
blast. We were on the go from
sunrise to well past sunset. We tried
to do everything.
I thought that JD and I would do
the same with our grandchildren. A
little inside info, a 60+ body just does not have the energy that a 25+ body
has. Yet, a 10- body has the
same. The three little ones wore
grandma and me out—and that was despite having Monte and Ana with us! But, despite being completely exhausted
every night and doing virtually nothing for three days after we returned, we
loved our trip. I do not believe
there is a greater pleasure in the world than watching your grandchildren have
fun learning about the United States of America, the greatest country in the
world.
My photographs from the trip were
mostly “family” shots, so they will not be shown. My shots of D.C. are mostly grab shots—I did not go out to
take any shots on my own.
I think everyone will recognize
today’s photo of the capitol. The
photo was taken from a slightly different location than most photographs of the
capitol are taken.
Enjoy

Better looking vacation "snapshot" than normally seen or taken by most of us. It's certainly from a different viewpoint than usual too. My monitor is calibrated, and I'm seeing some purple fringing in the trees to the far left. No biggie, just noticed it. Nice shot regardless.
ReplyDeleteDoug has good eyes. I cannot see it. Do like the pix.

You call this a grab shot but I see a very carefully frame photo. Never seen this angle before.
