Macro Meander at the Arboretum

A very relaxing stroll this afternoon at the national arboretum with friends.  Played with my macro (close-up) lens without a tripod - a little tricky for focusing but lots of sunshine to help with the exposures.  It was blissfully not in the 90s!

Escape from Summer

Current temperature in downtown Washington - 93 degrees, feels like 102, according to weather.com.  Or 97 degrees per weather underground.  HATING IT.   So, pulling from the archives, celebrating December 2009 snowfall in Becket, MA, in the Berkshires.
