Constitution Hall, Washington DC

This is taken from the south side of the building and may actually be of the DAR Museum rather than the actual hall. Constitution Hall is located just west of and midway between the Washington Monument and the White House.

Luray Caverns

Reflecting pool in Luray Caverns, Virginia. The water is only a few inches deep and, when perfetly calm, gives the illusion that one is looking at a deep cavern with both stalactites and stalagmites. It's really quite beautiful, but also difficult to photograph well while on a group tour (let alone while using an older digital camera). As this ended up being shot at 1/10th of a second, hand held (f2.8, ISO 800) I'm just pleased it came out as clear as it did.

House at Duncan Park

House (now part of a museum I think) at Duncan Park in Winchester, Virginia.

dogwood

Not really sure what's normal for the western side of Virginia but it seems to me that spring arrives late there (or at least did this year). Interesting fact about the dogwood flower: what you might think are large pink flower petals are actually bracts, or modified leaves. The actual flowers are tiny and are located in the center of the bracts.

Taken while out for a walk my first morning in Winchester, Virginia.
