The Photo of a Lifetime..

I love this Photographic Panorama taken by one of my friends with his iPhone. Can you say WOW to fantastic technology?! (And this coming from the woman who is not in the slightest technologically inclined...)

Oh dear goodness!!

Oh wow it has been a whole month EXACTLY since I posted. In the words of Americas sweetheart, Miss Shirley Temple, "Oh my goodness!!". I have had guests to stay, and I am now on vacation in MD with some family friends. I thought I would share a few photos so here goes...

A walk with you, 337 miles away...

We find ourselves missing people as we go throughout our days.. So, why not come up with a fun way to spend time together no matter what the distance that separates you is?

Today Justin and I took a "walk" around DC. He took photo's with his phone, and sent them to me, so I could see what he was seeing!! It was very fun to receive the photo's and to know that this was a new experience, and a fun one... that we were doing together.

Some of the detailing on the window and it's grates...
 

Some very pretty architectural detailing as well!

Lovely photo here :D

One of my favorite sorts of photo's are something called "Dutch Angles". Isn't it Fabulous?!

More in the way of beautiful architecture..

Love the pillars, and the little rosette ceiling pieces that join the corners of the squares together :D

Lovely Garden view...

Isn't the little spiral topiary adorable? I love sculptural things like that in a garden, they add so much visual interest, besides there just being pretty flowers.

Full Sun dial.. isn't the silvery hedge beautiful?

I bet it would be a breath taking site to see on a moonlit walk..

More of the lovely Fountain!



I have been to all of these places before with Justin, on my last visit to the DC/Maryland/Virginia area. So seeing them through pictures, and knowing we had walked there before was an extra special treat full of many fond memories.. 


So, when you find yourself missing that special someone, or your dear, dear friends..
Take a walk down memory lane, or see what interesting ways you can find to see each other!

My Recent Trip to Maryland and Washington DC

A shot of Justin and I reflected in the mirrored artwork outside the National Gallery of Art, while touring the museums in DC.

I had a GREAT time on my recent trip to the DC area, and I can't wait to do it again...
