Today, "Mama" (aka me) had to work today. Luckily, my husband teaches at a local college and doesn't have to be on campus yet. So, he let the chickens run in the yard and kept an eye/ear on them. Since this is day three for the Australorps, I am thinking they will be fine from now on.
My son took this picture of me posing with the girls and one guy.
PS: My older son still won't let me name them all Stupid Chicken. :)

Tired Feet
We started at the Arlington Metro and walked. And walked. And walked.
After we crossed Memorial Bridge, we visited the Lincoln Memorial. The family then walked down to the Vietnam Memorial. My husband's father fought in that war. We found the spot where men in his company were listed.
It was extremely hot, so we took an ice cream break by the pool on the mall near the Lincoln Memorial. I bought one bottle of water and wished later that I had bought more.
We visited the Korean Memorial next and then decided to go to the FDR Memorial. Unfortunately, the city had the sidewalk across the street blocked off. We ended up walking all the way down to the WWII before we could cross the street and walk around the Tidal Basin to the FDR Memorial.
I loved the FDR Memorial. The running water and the different figures really gave one the sense of the Presidency and the state of the country during that time period. Here is a picture of me standing at one section of the Memorial.
We walked on to the Jefferson Memorial. By that time, my feet were killing me, and I was so so hot. We finally made it around to the Smithsonian Metro and headed back to the condo.
Tomorrow, we pack up and leave. We will visit Manassas tomorrow and then drive on to Charlottesville.

Catchlight
The assignment today says to take a picture of someone with a catchlight in their eye(s). While on my way to look for a planter to place new plants in (yes, it is the time of year when I torture innocent plants), I took this snapshot of myself.

Outside on a February Day
This is part of a series of pictures I took for The Daily Shoot. Today's assignment: look for three images that tell a story, and make a set of photos that go together.
It was a wonderful fifty degrees (Fahrenheit) at 4:05ish (Eastern Time). I just purchased some running pants and jacket (seen in this picture). When I started on my walk/run, the weather was still nippy. By the time I returned, the clouds had cleared off a bit, and I was warm. After being subjected to thirty degree temperatures for a high for weeks on end (and rainy/cloudy days on top of that), it felt like spring!
