Eureka! A reason to exhibit two of my favorite photos.
The first was taken in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia. My husband asked what I wanted for my birthday last year, and without hesitation, I said I’d love a few days in Washington, D.C. Him being the history buff he is, and me being a hound for road trips, off we went. We spent one day in D.C., which is never enough, but, you know what they say, “Don’t look a gift horse…”
And one day in Alexandria. The shops are eclectic, and the views from around the Potomac are electric.
This shot was taken after feverishly searching for and finding a parking space. Not an easy feat, but there’s a reason for everything, because I clicked this off just minutes after getting out of the car. I LOVE this shot.
And this one, my son took of himself on our deck. I don’t know if it’s a mother’s love, or what, but this one blows me away.
Sometimes I guess I do things for my own visual pleasure. But I hope you enjoyed them a little as well.

Dear Bliary 
That Far picture is mind-blowing. I can see where Joe gets his eye! Or did you get your eye from him?? So fun.
Who knows? We learn from each other. ❤ :-).
I’m with you, the image of your son also blew me away, it’s fabulous and I too play with colour and b/w as you have, I find it makes for an interesting image. Jen
Color. B/W. Love them all. So much fun. Thanks for all of your comments, Jen. I really appreciate the visits. Gem
I like both of the photos.
🙂
Both your photos are awesome! I have a thing about lanes too, and have some interesting photos, but not as nice as yours. Being a bicycle rider, I decided it wouldn’t be a good place to ride with a dozen eggs in one’s pannier bag!
“smiles” Not eggs, but if you just need a quart of milk, maybe… ?
Great near and far images i love it 🙂
🙂 Many thanks :-).
These are great!!
Many thanks. A true compliment coming from you. 🙂
The second one is my favorite too. Perfect moment. And the contrasting B&W with the brown wood…brilliant! A mother’s love with an amazing talent to capture images.
Thanks for the visits and comments, Mr. B. :-).
Lovely images, both, Gemma. I know exactly what you mean about a mother’s love for her son. 🙂
Knew you would :-D.
Both pictures are lovely Gemma! 🙂
Both pictures I love. :-).
Thanks, ioanna.
Love your second pic…It is great!
Welcome, ilargia64, and thank you :-).
I love both shots, great pictures!
You found yourself a parking spot and a great photo 🙂
YES! How lucky am I? Such a great place to visit. Thanks for dropping by, Aian. 🙂
love the perspective in both the pics!
Why thanks, quirky! And thanks for dropping by.
Fantastic shot… How did I miss this one? 😉
Beats me! Glad you made it by though. And thanks! 🙂
Very cool perspectives. Love the photos.
Thank you, Naomi. My son and road trips. Two of my favorite things. Not to sound to Julie Andrews. 🙂 Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
I can see that you are having a ball in your photography course.
Shoot ’till you’re heart’s content!
Old Town was a little over exposed on the right but I can’t afford photoshop 😦 so I have to go with it as is. Still, maybe the memory of the trip adds to the love, but I love it!
Always welcome your visits and comments, Allan. 🙂
