MY WORLD Some images from Washington

One of the many sculptures in the Smithsonian mall
Some images from my days in Washington with my sister....the white House of course, but we didn't see the first family out playing on the lawn with their new puppy though.
Some people obviously like trying out these things for getting around sightseeing...
we spent quite a bit of time at the art gallery...

and touring some of the memorials in our trolley bus....
more images from the Freer gallery...in the Smithsonian Mall...

and more sculptures....
our trolley bus....







many beds of beautiful flowers....
and some pretty impressive samples of petrified wood.....
and always a view of The Capitol building from the Smithsonian mall...
I really liked the small intimate Freer galleery....

Smiles...so glad you enjoyed them. I must explain that to get some of the nice pictures that go on my blog, I have to take many many more....like lots of photos a day! But it is worth it to get some good photos!

itsnotjustapicturre...thanks for your kind comments...it isn't really too hard to get some great photos of the Capitol, and others, they are so photographable aren't they?

me and my puppies..yes, I really like visiting Washington too. Unfortunately I have never had enough time on either visit I have had, but never mind, better to have seen a little of it, than none at all. My last visit was at Christmas one year, and I enjoyed seeing all the Christmas trees...they were just wonderful!

Brit gal Sarah...you are welcome..it is fun to share the photos and experiences with others isn't it?

Thank you for showing us the sights of Washington which I for one have not seen before ad will certainly not be able to see for myself since flying is out for me.

antigoni I am glad you enjoyed the photos of Washington. I do hope you get to visit one day. I have had to visit till I am old and gray, and my daughter living in NYC, otherwise I wouldn't have had the opportunity. We never know what experiences are around the corner for us!! I would never have believed that I would be there one day!

Arija I am sorry to hear that flying is not a possibility for you at this stage. I do hope you are able to be out and about other places, although we can always find the beauty in life where ever we are, can't we?

This is great seeing Washington through someone else's eyes. I go there quite often during the year as we live on 45 minutes away. Great photos!
