Hi! I like the new blog. I love photos, but I always seem to forget to take my camera with me, so it's nice to be a voyeur on your world and see the things you see with your camera. Some of these photos are very evocative - you have a good eye.
ReplyDeleteThanks Embee! I appreciate that.
ReplyDeletethanks for letting me experience the inaugeration day. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteFantastic shots and great spirit !! Thanks for sharing..Unseen Rajasthan
ReplyDeleteThanks BabYpose, Unseen Rajasthan, for the kind comments! I appreciate you stopping by.
ReplyDeletethese pics are a trip. in a good way. i've never seen dc up close and personal, and your shots are somehow a LOT different than the canned stuff you get on tv! and that is a good thing!
ReplyDeleteThanks Drollgirl, if you ever go get a chance to go, it's so worth it just for the museums. It's a beautiful city.
ReplyDeleteAnd, you're right, it was a different experience being right there. I was so glad I went, despite the freezing cold. The energy in the air was palpably full of joy and excitement. And though I only saw the president on the monitors at least I can always say I was there!
I wish I had been able to be there! I watched it on tv with my kitten, and she wore a red/white/and blue bow! Why was that art held down with those red straps?!
