^Thanks, Scoots.

I took one a little later from the opposite direction, but the colors don't seem to pop as much, but here it is, anyway.

You have a pretty place Gene. And a lot of grass to mow.

Thanks, Dean. I have to give full credit to my +1 for all the landscaping plants and flowers. Actually, the yard is not that big. I could mow it in 40 minutes with a push mower, but 2 years ago decided to let a professional outfit do it, and it shows!

Great trimming! I have a Stihl weed trimmer. We have so much trimming due to the endless flower gardens and borders it has become too much for me. I just did about half of it last week and my shoulders hurt for the next couple days. I am going to have to find a better solution.

The +1 took this the other night from Key Bridge. The lights on the left are Georgetown and Georgetown Harbor. To the right of the Wash Monument is the Kennedy Center.

Took a ride to a local garden, public area. I was a little late for the tulip party. Some of them are past their prime. I've posted photos of this garden before. Here's a few from today.

The colored panes were an art project

Tulips!

Nature takes it's own path. Wish the tulip itself was in better focus.

The former owner was a very well known with "international renown". Allen Haskell

Thanks, Robb. I noticed it too. I had pretty good light. I used the wide angle on those, not sure if it has better glass than my usual walk around lens.

Thanks, Deb. The tulip just caught my eye, among the rest that were standing tall.

I looked at my pics from last year. I went there a few days later. We had a lot of rain and wind this past Sunday. I think it was rough on the tulips.
