Old Town Alexandria | Dear Bliary

Next stop, Sonel’s Corner and a new challenge – for me. Black and White photos. I think B&W is tricky. Some things work with it and some don’t. I’m going to take a shot at it and see where it leads me. Worst that could happen, people will not agree with my choices. Best that could happen, I might learn something. (And THAT’S a good thing!).

I hope Sonel doesn’t mind me joining in. She seems really nice, so I’m thinking she will welcome me with open arms. OK maybe not open arms, but I don’t think she’ll shut the proverbial door in my face.

Please feel free to comment and help (be kind!)

More white than black, but it’s there. Take a guess…

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.
