Reflection Photography

 As I live near the river, I only have to walk a few blocks to find the streets flooded from a strong rain storm or high tide.  In the flooded street I was admiring the reflection of the street lamp and trees.

Pictures of reflections are so interesting that I went back to some of the pictures I have taken in the last few years when in DC, New York City, and The Netherlands (see below).

Museums. And More Museums.

There have been wonderful art exhibits in Washington, D.C. in the last few months.  These visits were a warm welcome during the cold, dreary, gray winter months.

Below are some of things I saw at the National Museum of Women in the Arts, the National Art Gallery, the Hirshhorn Museum and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.  Click on the links to read more about the exhibits.
