Yesterday this fella was sitting on top of a garage, staring down at me.

Spring Glow
This was taken last week in Southwest DC. It wasn’t anywhere special–just next to a parking lot near the water front–but there was something about the glow of this sunset.
Gothic Study
Another shot from Hearst Castle: The Gothic Study was W.R. Hearst’s executive board room and the main place where he conducted business while at the castle. The room was quite dim and I was doing this without a tripod–phew, that’s a lot of breath holding and concentration!
Plane Watching at Gravelly Point
Gravelly Point is a favorite spot for DC and Virginia locals to watch the (very loud) planes take off and land at Reagan National Airport (DCA).
The spot makes for some great photos, especially on a bright blue day, but nothing can really do justice for an airliner buzzing right over head. I recommend heading out there for a picnic, as long as you don’t mind the noise!
Spring at the National Arboretum
This was taken last week at the National Arboretum. Most of the flora hadn’t sprouted yet, but this tree’s bright yellow flowers contrasted well against the deep blue sky (I was using a polarizer). In the background are the old corinthian columns of the Capitol building that were replaced after the Capitol dome was completed.
Photo of the Day: Youth in Nicaragua
A local of San Juan del Sur and an acquaintance of my travel compadre, this young guy helped show us around town. We were waiting around negotiating a cab fare when I took this shot.
