Blossom season

Ok I'm going to put a load more of these in my facebook albums but here are the ones relevant to the blog entry (protest banners edited out).
I really liked the dragon kites.

The number of kites was massive. There were families, kite enthusiasts scout troops, it was a really cool idea.

White house squirrel. Or a really advanced security system.
A sad retirement for a true hero

DC in the snow - quite rare apparently

Snow storm sunset - not a dirty lense that is snow falling.


View in both directions on the avenue. The capitol at one end and the monument at the other. 5 minutes later the monument disappeared behind a blizzard.

So this is what passes for a well cleared pavement around here. Yes there is a pavement under there. This is the standard clearing method - plough snow off road onto sidewalk (here pavement is the bit the cars use), job done - I mean who needs a clear sidewalk, it's not like anyone walks round here is it?
