Old Capitol pillars at the Arboretum

Took these back when the weather was a little nicer. The columns were removed from the Capitol in 1958 as part of a remodel, but weren’t placed at the National Arboretum until the 1980s. The National Arboretum web site has more information.

Cathedral of Sts. Peter and Paul in Philadelphia

This is the view of the Cathedral from the hotel window, at night and during the day:

The hotel window was pretty dirty, but I can’t really tell, I guess there’s just a little extra haze.

Assateague Island

We went to Ocean City a couple of weeks ago and drove down to Assateague Island on the way back to DC. There were a lot of horse and deer tracks along the beach but the critters themselves weren’t there. We finally found them when we drove down the island to the National Seashore area.
