After raining all night, the streets were lined with puddles. I thought this made an interesting shot of the Washington Monument.

A few weeks ago, I spent a really rainy morning at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens. We took breaks in and out of the rain until it finally stopped. Luckily, the cherry blossoms were still in bloom and I got to take this beautiful shot with rain droplets.

Have you ever heard of weeping cherry blossoms? +Navin Sarma  was the first to tell me about them and then I saw them in full bloom at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens. They're so beautiful!

While I was in California, I attended a Sea to Summit Workshop with Joshua Cripps. It was really great to have someone from the area show me around the different beaches and discuss technique on how to photograph the water. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't of gotten these amazing waterscapes. Thanks Josh!

I’m back from California! What an amazing place to be  I love the beautiful weather and amazing landscapes. The skies were clear the whole time I was there, which means no clouds. Clouds always add interest to pictures but I think it works for this image. What do you think?

All week I've been waking up super early to take some beautiful cherry blossom pictures for you all. Now you can see what it's really like at the Tidal Basin.

Taken just after sunrise but I'm not quite sure this accurately depicts just how many people are at the Tidal Basin enjoying the cherry blossoms. Believe me, there are a LOT!

Hows the weather where you live? Today's temp is 44 degrees. Hard to believe that two days ago it was snowing!

WOW I can't believe it snowed again yesterday! One minute you think spring is finally here, the next you're scrapping ice off of your car. 

It's ok though, I finally got some snow pictures! I converted them to black and white because I thought it conveyed the mood a little better. What do you think of the B&W?

Happy Spring! 

The weather in VA has been kinda crazy lately. It has been snowing, raining, and warm weather in between. So, I decided to head out to Meadowlark Botanical Gardens to see if there were any early signs of spring.

Kitty, Kitty, Kitty!!!!

I don’t know why, whenever I see a cat of any sort I have to scream “Kitty”! Does that happen to you?

This image was taken at the San Diego zoo through the glass. It was a little hard to focus and get the right exposure but I love the fact that the tiger is staring right at me.

Day light savings this weekend! What does that mean? Setting the alarm clock extra early for some sunrise pics :(

I took this one last year right in the middle of autumn. Fall has got to be one of my favorite seasons because its not too hot, not too cold and the colors are beautiful! What's your favorite season? Looking forward to spring?

This was my first time visiting the museum and I had a great time! My new friend, +Christa Laser  invited me out and kinda showed me the hot spots of taking pictures at the National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution. If you’ve never been, definitely put it on your to-do list.
