Details

Well, if you aren't sick of my photos of Washington D.C. yet, I'm calling today's post details. Basically, these were the photos I loved, which didn't fit into the categories family, flags, monuments, memorials & buildings, or Arlington Cemetery. If you are sick of the photos, well, relax, today is the last day in the series. ;)

Beautiful orchids on exhibit at the Museum of Natural History

You can't even believe how amazing this room
with all the orchids smelled!

The only cherry blossom bud in all of
D.C. even close to opening.
Ironically, it was at the cemetery.

Well, folks, that's the end of the series! Those are all my favorite photos from our two days in Washington D.C. I hope you enjoyed them as much as I enjoyed being there and taking them!

Arlington Cemetery

If you've been following along this week, you've seen my favorite family, flag and monument, memorial & building photos from our recent visit to Washington D.C. Today is day four in the series and I'll be sharing my favorite photos from Arlington Cemetery.

I know it seems somewhat morbid strange, but I find cemeteries intriguing. There is something beautifully calming about them that just draws me in. Arlington Cemetery is particularly moving and interesting to me. We spend quite a bit of time there last Saturday. Below are my favorite photos of the cemetery and of the changing of the guard ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

















I avoided descriptions today because I thought these photos were powerful enough to speak for themselves. Tomorrow, I'll be bringing the series to a close with a post I'm going to call details. It's all in the details, isn't it? I guess you'll have to check back tomorrow and see for yourself!

Monuments, Memorials and Buildings

Today is day three in the series of my favorite photos from our recent trip to Washington D.C. If you haven't already, you should check out my favorite family and flag photos!

Today, I am going to share my favorite photos of monuments, memorials and buildings! The architecture in D.C. is both stunning and moving, and I found myself just clicking away. My camera certainly got a workout on this trip!

BEAUTIFUL city isn't it?! Come back tomorrow to see my photos from Arlington Cemetery.

Flags

Today is day two in the series of my favorite photos from our recent trip to Washington D.C. Yesterday, I shared my favorite family photos with you and, today, I am going to share my favorite flag photos with you.

You may be wondering why on Earth I took so many flag photos that they needed their own post! Well, as you might expect, there are a lot of flags in our nation's capital! In addition, I have to take a photograph that expresses a sense of motion for my photography course. All the flags waving in the wind seemed like a good place to experiment, so I took a lot of flag photos!

Without any further ado, here come the flags!

Flags surrounding the Washington Monument.

Those are my favorites! Please join me again tomorrow and I will share my favorite photos of monuments, memorials and buildings in Washington D.C.

Family

Since most of my posts are usually first thing in the morning, you've probably noticed that I'm feeling a little bit lazy today. Despite my laziness, I have uploaded all the photos I took in D.C.! There are so many that I LOVE that there are just too many to put in one post, and I've decided to do a series of posts! Everyday day this week, I will post some of my favorite photos from my recent visit to my favorite city!

Since our whole trip was about moving my sister to Maryland, today I'm going to post my favorite photos of my family in D.C. Here we go:

I love that my sister and hubby get
along so well! Here they are being
silly seals at the Museum of
Natural History!

I like to be silly too!

Well, there you have it! Those are my favorite photos of my family in D.C. this past weekend. Stay tuned tomorrow for a post with my favorite flag photos from our visit!
