I took a walk around the Constitution Gardens area of the National Mall early Sunday morning. It seemed to be a great day for the squirrels; the weather was perfect and there was plenty to eat. Many trees were dropping their blossoms and dandelion salad was on the menu as well.
Near the top of Constitution Hill, Settle. This was the main road from Settle to Langcliffe in times past.

Mount Constitution is a mountain on Orcas Island, and the highest point in the San Juan Islands and the second highest mountain on an ocean island in the contiguous 48 state. Only Devils Peak in the Channel Islands of California is higher. A stone observation tower patterned after a medieval watch tower stands at the summit. It was designed by architect Ellsworth Storey and built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1936. The tower offers panoramic views of the surrounding islands, the Cascade Mountains, and many Canadian and American cities. On a clear day, the view encompasses locations as diverse as Mount Baker, Mount Rainier, Saturna Island, and the cities of Vancouver, and Victoria, British Columbia. Mount Constitution lies within the 5,000 acres (20.2 km2) Moran State Park.
The prominence was named by Charles Wilkes during the Wilkes Expedition of 1838-1842 for the USS Constitution.
Bellingham can be seen to the left of picture mid distance. My in-laws house overlooks where we are standing. We told the girls we could see their Grandfather on the veranda through the binoculars :)

I’ve just spent 4 lovely days in Venice, and my feet are pretty sore because of it.
On my final day I was fortunate enough to have some mist, though found it was pretty unpredictable. In the morning there was a little, which I thought had lifted due to the sun coming up. However after breakfast I walked to another part of the city and it was still there, only to clear a bit later, and then later on I saw it again elsewhere in the city where it hadn’t been earlier. I think it may just be a mist cloud that moves around randomly, it was pretty odd.
This is a 3 minute exposure of ‘Ponte della Costituzione’, or Constitution Bridge – one of the four bridges that span the Grand Canal. The latest bridge to be built across the canal it was opened in late 2008. I think it’s my favourite simply because it is the most modern yet somehow still seems to fit in with the Venice vibe. It’s also got a pod on one side which allows wheelchairs to cross. It seems Venice is attempting to make itself more accessible, though this just seems to be by use of wooden planks up and down various bridges which does not add to the aesthetics of the city.
