I went down to the field in front of the Netherlands Carillon for the fireworks show this year.

I should have gone earlier because I literally had to run to setup my camera and tripod after navigating the crowd to a large enough spot to set up. Wish I had noticed the street light was in my way.

Trying some new things out here, this is just the first to come with some creative editing, and color corrections or black and whites. (b&w in the future)

Today, I took a short trip down the block to two of the most scenic and beautiful monuments in Arlington Va, my home.

U.S.M.C. War Memorial

The Netherlands Carillon

Sadly, The U.S.M.C. War Memorial was undergoing a revitalization project, so the ground was ripped up in almost a 200 ft radius, and fenced off, and my first trip to the Carillon, I discovered was closed on Sundays. Meaning I couldn't go up and take an awesome shot of DC. I will be following both up, when they are open/revitalized.

Along the way, I took some assorted photos of Pansies and MORE Cherry Blossoms, and as of now, unidentified bird.

With reverence to my last post, I am following up with the pictures tonight of the fireworks show for the Cherry Blossom Festival. I opted to stay home, and shoot from the roof, I hate riding the metro at night on events like this, it's like a sardine can. I apologize for any blurred pictures, I need a tripod desperately.

It has been brought to my attention that the above photo resembles a bird flying towards the sun. I would like to use the imagery of Icarus. Judge for yourself.

Cherry Blossoms

I love this time of year. The tidal basin in front of the Jefferson Memorial, and the FDR Memorial are surrounded by beautiful Cherry trees, that blossom this time of year, creating a gorgeous white pink and purple ring.

National Cherry Blossom Festival

This Saturday they will be doing fireworks, and I will making another update for that alone.

Took a trip over to the Washington National Cathedral recently. It's such a beautiful building. Maybe I'll get some inside snapshots later on, so I can cross that off my list of things to do here.

Cool huh? Too much time invested in this, sorry for the lack of updates.

Just kidding!

Sunrises.

I love them, don't you?

2006-01-20T04:26:00.000-05:00

Mostly DC wildlife this time, all images came from the national mall, this time.

2006-01-19T04:15:00.000-05:00

One more upload to go, Sorry once again to anyone following THIS. These were all done, but never published, which was my mistake.

2006-01-18T04:08:00.000-05:00

More from THIS. Most are looking from Roosevelt Island, towards Georgetown, Washington DC.

This is looking towards Arlington VA, the Rosslyn Business District, where my apartment is.

2006-01-13T08:59:00.000-05:00

Wow, I haven't updated this in a while. Sorry folks.

Pffft. Yeah, anyway.

I went out on a all day walking trip around DC. Took some assorted shots, mostly of nature, the best thing about DC, to me, is the abundance of it in such a large dense city.

Consider THIS (Theodore Roosevelt Island) my first stop on the trip.

I'll be adding more pictures in the order they were taken, tomorrow.

Rooftop, with a view.

That's right.

I was stunned as a first timer to DC when I came to this apartment, when I saw the roof, and the view it had. It was amazing, such a wide, and expansive view of the Capitol city. I've often since, in the past three years, taken photos from up there, but most turned out blurry, or I couldn't focus in on things like the Washington monument like I wanted to.

Well, that's no longer the case.

PS: I know I was supposed to make this an everyday thing, but I'm lazy and a procrastinator. So I apologize to all three of my viewers.

Some random monetary close ups.

2005-12-27T11:22:00.000-05:00

Well now.

Ha ha.

This is the act of creating a superfluous extension of my thoughts, and hobbies, through this relatively bland and new blog. I'll be posting more of course, than just this small teaser today.

Let me back up a little bit, as to explain why I'm here.

I received a new camera for Christmas this year, and I wanted to have a place to share my new found hobby. Photo Blogging.

:D

Anyway, here's link to Olympus's website, so you can check out the goods.

Olympus.com

I'm quite proud and fond of it right now, it's actually a great camera for what it's worth.

A small close up of some plants, that at the moment I cannot recall the name of.

Close up of a Lion Soapstone sculpture.

Another closeup of the Lion. This thing is only about three inches wide, one inch tall.

The plastic white-ish Christmas tree extreme close up from about 18 feet away.
