Walking around town: Yellow

Yep.  Yellow themed walk in late May around Adams Morgan and Mount Pleasant.  Many flowers out in the heart of the city.

Walking around town: Orange

Theme orange on a late May rainy morning walk.

Walking around town: Red

In my almost daily walks around town, I've started having themes to my photos.  In large part to prevent me from stopping as frequently.  So the rule has been - whatever the theme of the day is, I can only take photos of that.  I started with colors.  So here are a few photos of red.

Sunset

The other night was mesmerized by an amazing sunset.  By the red sky at night.

I'm so drawn to abstract art and have been playing around with abstract photos so dropped one of those in here too.

Hey, Buds

During my many walks in April and May, I became obsessed with flowers budding. Not yet showing their full showiness but a beautiful promise of what may become.  Beautiful in their own rights.  These are buds around town.

Meandering Along the Muddy Branch

For the past four weeks, I've been escaping the city in search of semi-solitude on a trail and have discovered the Muddy Branch Greenway Trail in Montgomery County, MD.  I started near the C&O canal and worked my way vaguely north and east over 9 miles or so.

In mid-April, I saw bluebells still blooming, including white bluebells.

 

I saw early/wild azaleas, various wildflowers, the Muddy Branch (stream) itself, woods, skunk cabbage and grasses.  Although not entirely alone, it was a welcome escape from the more crowded city.   Here are a few photos from my hikes.

Love a rainy day

Waited out a downpour in my car until it downgraded to a light rain so I could enjoy my walk with fewer people out - loved it!
