Snow Day

Today I experienced my first ever snow day, as a result of a nasty storm that has brought three feet of snow!!! I attempted to shovel the snow off of our stoop, but my efforts were covered over in another five inches within an hour. Although I spent most of the day inside, sitting by the window, it was magical outside! Enjoy!

This is Wisconsin Ave. one of the main roads near where I live, completely deserted and covered in snow.

This looks so "east coast" to me. Just like in a movie.

If this isn't winter, then I don't know what is...

Long Overdue- 17th Annual Drag Queen High Heel Race

In October, the 17th Annual Drag Queen High Heel Race took place in Dupont Circle. Even though it was pouring rain, nearly a hundred drag queens made it out in their highest heels to take part in the 0.2 mile run. One word: Hilarious!

Winter is finally here!

I woke up this morning to a wonderful surprise...SNOW!

Fall with friends

Red, Orange, Yellow, and Green

More pretty fall pictures

A sunny fall day.

The tree right in front of my house that mesmerizes me every time I leave the house. The colors are so beautiful!

Georgetown at sunset. The lighting is always so beautiful right around the time I take the bus home from work.

In the last week of mild fall weather, a walk to work...

When the weather permits, it is actually quite a lovely walk to work from the Foggy Bottom Metro station. Last week was the end of the pleasant fall weather so I took advantage of it, and got in a little morning exercise as well! Here is the virtual tour...

Start out at the intersection of I street and New Hampshire Ave.

Across I st, and straight down New Hampshire

My favorite house on the block.

Charming little row houses along New Hampshire Ave.

Crossing Virginia Ave, straight ahead lies the Watergate complex, then around the bend to the Kennedy Center.

A great shot of the Watergate complex, and its weird dated version "futuristic" architecture.

The Kennedy Center glowing through the trees in the morning sunlight.

Farmer's Market

The farmer's market at Eastern Market on Sunday. There is nothing better than fresh fruits and vegetables. Yum!

National Symphony Orchestra

Last Thursday I went to see the National Symphony Orchestra in one of their first concerts of the fall season. The Orchestra, conducted by Ivan Fischer, performed Beetoven's Symphony No. 6 in F major, Op. 68, and Bartok's "The Wooden Prince." (pardon the poor quality iPhone photos)
