Contemplating

A bicyclist ends the day watching the river flow from the boardwalk running along the Potomac River in Georgetown.  Rosslyn, Virginia is lit by the setting sun.  It doesn't get much better than this.

I headed to Milwaukee to spend time with Jon during his annual trip home.  Since his twin sister Pam was casting about in northern Wisconsin, we decided to meet at the  Milwaukee Art Museum on a lovely summer day.  We spent little time in the galleries, but walked the grounds and then to Harbor House for a 3-hour lunch (no martinis).

Another photograph for my Age of Trump series.  In Oval Office interview, with Vice President Mike Pence looking on, President Donald J. Trump said, "I don't think Bill did anything wrong. . . . He's a person I know well; he's a good person."

Two days in New York, and one 120mm lens.  That was the right lens this past weekend.  Although there were short spells of blue skies, for the most part, the sky was white or middle gray.  None of my landscape shots worked, which I knew would be the case, but when I am there, I gotta try anyway.  Close ups were the order of the day.

I thought Spring vacation season was over with, but I was wrong, very wrong.  Packs of 8th graders were everywhere.  They do not make room for other pedestrians.  Ten abreast, they just push forward.
