in art...

*sigh*

I heart art.

And Washington DC.

What an embarrassment of riches that town has.

Jeepers!

ps. this is the 2nd time I've been on the internet in a week; blogging will still be slow for a while. However, am using camera here and there, so there may be more goodies for you upon my return to situation normal. I've posted pics of this uh-mah-zing statue before, but it bears repeating, IMHO.

Cruising Plum Island National Wildlife Refuge, 

near Newburyport, MA.

 

Wicked cool place.

photo quiz answer... and winners!

 

Olivia V. Ambrogio got it in 20 seconds,
then Jennifer Bowen Yoga figured it out.

Nice work, ladies!!! HONK! HONK! HONK!

And many thanks to all the commenters and guessers.
Y'all are fabulous. =)

Yup, they're all reflections.
So, I posted them upside down.
Here they are in their original orientation.

That was some crazy still water. NICE!!

It was near Mirror Lake, but we were on the
other side of the "lake" than most people visit.

So nice.

Something different.

Yeah, yeah, it's all about you...

 

Trying to take a photograph of the section of granite wall
from which sprung the slide by Yosemite's Mirror Lake,
and who horns in?

Don't you think you get enough attention, Half Dome?

Jeepers.

Poor little slide....

=)

again, an abandoned crop perseveres...

 

Varied hues are (if I remember correctly) due to a packet of mixed carrot types. Great for short-attention-span, color-greedy gardeners, in particular. =) Whomever that might include... these were tucked deep inside a corn forest.

Note how, despite the strong, clear lighting,
it takes a while to see the cat.

Genius cryptic design...
