rode (on bike) back to TR Island Park today
wooded and just a (big) stones throw away from the White House...

it was full of people but got a quick shot of the boardwalk sans tourist


the leaves are turning here too


a little turtle far out in the Potomac


the mosaic mural under the Hwy 1 overpass in Crystal City

1. You had a spectacular day it seems. Great color and a real feel
of autumn.
You're a bit ahead of us here in NC, but the 4 days I was gone made a big difference in the trees in my own yard.

Don't forget, the "Autumn" contest is around the bend. I especially like the first one with the lone walker in the distance!

2. Gorgeous
That first one is especially wonderful, but I love the murals too.

Biking plus photography made for a very productive day for you--invigorating as well.

3. I have found that
Arlington and DC are wonderful places for biking... I brought my own bike but they just implemented "Bikesharing" with rentals at many convienient corners around town. I am going to hate to leave here (next work in in the Bronx - probably won't be biking much there! but maybe some good pictures await me?)

4. What a wonderful place
to get away from the city. And those mosaics are so colorful. Looks like you did them justice, those colors are so beautiful.

:hi:
