Picture Perfect Day


I think it's ok to delve into the realm of self-portraits and self-promotion. Scroll down below and you'll see a lovely picture with Cherry Blossoms. It was such a nice day, I decided to go back to it again. You can see an awesome blue sky and the Washington Monument. Did you know that there are two different colors of stone in it? That's because there was a huge flood back in 1912 and that is the water mark from it....not really. It's because the construction of it was delayed by a little something called the Civil War. When they went back to the quarry, years had passed and the stones they got were a slightly different shade - true story!
