Blue Skies in DC


In Washington last Saturday it was cool and very dry and the skies were quite blue.  The weather seemed just right for the skating rink which is in place at the side of the National Mall.  

There were some very competent skaters whizzing around, others hugged the edge.  I always think that skating looks so elegant and have never tried it.  I may have left it a bit late perhaps.

Also in the park between the Smithsonian buildings were a number of modern sculptures, including this life-size steel tree..


At the Capitol building there is even more scaffolding over the dome and main building than last time we visited.  


The roses are still flowering well so I focused on them instead.

  1. It's never too late for anything Julie although I guess you and David may have missed your chance as the Torvil and Dean of Reston. Blue sky looks fabulous.
