And Now for Another Random Photo Interlude...


Chinatown Arch view from GP after a rain.

Circus elephants delighting many children!  I wonder how they de-stickyfy the Verizon Center from all the sweet candy?

Cary preparing for politicking at Giant...he was wearing a very nice pink tie.

My garden emerges from winter & I didnt do a thing yet!

A neighbor's waning winter flowers a few doors up.  Luscious.  Martin, what are those called?

Weve got tons of Creeping Phlox showing stunning color on the 1100 block of 5th & the 1200 block of 4th if anyone is out for a stroll as the weather warms.  Dont forget to mark your calendars for some Neighborhood Cleanup on the 19th whether you are in MVSQ or Shaw.  there will be multiple events for beautification!  And if anyone can deliver newsletters this weekend, please email me at niello8@yahoo.com thanks!

The red and white flowers are camillas. The shrubs can be spring blooming or fall blooming (dependent on which hybrid you buy.) The spring ones tend to bloom fairly early around here. My mother used to love to cut the blossoms and float them in bowls of water. It's a pretty effect.

I loved your shot of the Chinatown arch. A unique perspective.

As for those elephants. I used to work in the Rayburn Building on Capitol Hill that had a balcony over Independence Avenue. Every year the circus would bring the animals through town from the train yard. We would all run out to see them pass. You can't take the child out of the adult when elephants are walking city streets.
