Their day started at the luxurious Hotel Monaco in Washington, DC followed by portraits at the Lincoln Memorial. We spent about 10 minutes on the grounds, made some lovely pictures and were…
It’s spring. I’m cleaning, opening windows, recycling old stuff, tossing, reorganizing, polishing, moving furniture, finding treasures. This daylight savings time ritual syncs with the eruption of a wee brave crocus and tiny white snowdrops. In the melee, I find a treasure, a perfect distraction from domestic inclinations. It’s a picture of my sister and me…
