    Love’n those clouds!

    Loved the predawn clouds at Pineridge Natural Area this morning. Happy that Nature offered me a subtle hint of pink/orange over the eastern horizon to begin this new day. The wind has blown all day (currently 19 mph). Even with the sun shining almost all day it never warmed up. Yet, with the sun shining the past couple of days, the snow has been melting which has caused the city to close down many of the trails at the natural areas. Those wet and muddy conditions destroy the trails. Shot this from the parking lot. Met a friend for a Thai lunch at a new restaurant, at least for me. Food was good and I walked away stuffed. I spent some time at the Pineridge Natural Area this afternoon and soaked up the sun while journaling. Rather quiet there. Hope you have a great day!

    Another Walk

    Another Walk

    On one of my walks around our hotel I found this replica of the Washington Monument in a small park called Oronoco Bay Park located along the Potomac River. I enjoyed my walk and took the time to sit on one of the many benches along the walking trail to watch the aircraft landing from the south at Reagan National Airport. I found a nice Thai restaurant called Thailand on Royal Street on my way back to the hotel. I tried something different called Fiery Basil (Kaprow). Not bad and no wonder my pants fit tight!
