It's Memorial Day in Washington, DC. Visited the Jefferson Memorial and got this shot. If you've never been to this memorial and haven't read the inscriptions there - do yourself a favor and make the trip. It will be a reminder that truly great men founded this country. There is hope that the idiots will fade and we'll get back to sanity around here,
So I followed the path and in my wandering, I found a bench to sit, rest and contemplate this dead shrub? I suppose I ought to snap some of the botanicals that cover Denver's gardens. Well, this was a botanical for a short stint before it gave up. Always the question is whether this dead wood or functional art? Well, this is what I saw.
This snap is yet another from a recent eDDie trek, this time down to the Denver Botanic Gardens. I have passed untold times but never invested my time or ponied up the entrance fee. This path shouts that upkeep here is far from free, but eDDie bought a season pass so I did another round of sponge bobbing at the right price. Boy, this place is loaded with distractions that were made for me! ...and, did I get distracted. Art in the park indeed.
Trekkers and lookie-loos poked every path and display. There were displays and art everywhere, keeping me abuzz and focusing in to removing background peeps. I expect that I will actually get to botanic growies sooner or later. When will I change interests in this series like I usually do?
Since the Denver Botonic Gardens trek, I have made more treks and another with eDDie yesterday to the hills. At least I was able to snag a load of shots on that mellow day. I filled my film card for the first time every. OK, I was tapped by the time it was filled.
A shoot from the club with the most excellent Graham Currey.

Guy weighing up how to carry the bags, maybe the girl climbing out of the truck will help. Bacolod City, Philippines.
.... ( What I'm really doing when gazing on all those distant solar systems peeking through the Aurora's curtains)
All these stars, being within our own little galaxy and thus holding distances generally within a few million light years, don't really encompass spaces akin to eternity, but ... from our little butterfly's temporal perspective, they might as well ...
One of Mojo's favourite places is sitting or lying on top of the old Singer sewing machine. It's her best place to contemplate on things in her life and, of course, keep an eye out for intruders coming through the back door catflap:-)
An end to another awful week, but we are off to Rome next weekend to see Omar and Gnorri, oh and Claudia - lol. so that is definitely something to look forward to.
Our computer is back at home, just a case of putting all the plugs back in!
Have a great weekend everyone
Happy Furry Friday:-)))

Candid iPhone shot. I think what he was contemplating was what kind of specialty coffee to order - this was shot at a Tim Horton's.
We visited North Beach in San Francisco today for the annual North Beach festival, and spent some browsing books in the famous City Lights Bookstore - the hangout of the Beat Generation in the 50's and 60's. It's is a fascinating, eclectic place, still thriving in the days when people buy their books on-line for their Kindle.
My daughter is also a reader with varied interests like me.
Yes, it's a real book (and no we didn't buy it) :)
