I went to the Kennedy Center last night to see Chris Thile and the National Symphony.
Nice program. Some Dvořák, Bach, Ellington, Punch Brothers, Pete Seegar, Beethoven , Caroline Shaw, and an extended piece of his called Attention!.
Attention! was sort of the story of Nickle Creek's big break getting their cd's in Starbucks ( remember back when they sold cd's ). Also his meeting Carrie Fisher.
Nice evening. The sunset with Rosslyn VA from the Kennedy Center terrace was nice too.

I was taking the trash out to the curb and found this on the driveway. Not a scratch on it.
I'm used to finding the shells around after a Jay or Crow got one.
Such a beautiful color.

The Wisteria and Lilac are blooming. The air is heavy with the perfume.
Sure beats dryer sheets.

4/3/24 The first full bunch of blooming Daffodils I have seen this year. The ones in my yard will probably bloom later in the week.

Spring is just around the corner, according to the local maple trees.

#Sunset 26/02/24. The first shot is some foreshadowing of what would come in about a half hour. Really pretty with stunning crepuscular rays and everything.

Took metro downtown today to DC. Thought I would walk around and look at art and stuff. It has been about ten years since I have been there.
Did most of the west side of the National Mall. The American History Museum, Natural History Museum, National Gallery of Art, and the East Building.
Much has changed, but there were some familiar things too.
In the 1970's I used to spend hours in the museums, with family, school trips, or just wandering after being dropped off.
The American History Museum changed the most. Much more popular culture oriented, and a whole bunch of corporate branding of almost everything. Sad and sickening. I didn't spend as much time there.
Natural History has been updated, and is pretty nice. Most if not all of the old 'anthropology' exhibits are gone. Lots of cafe's and museum shops.
The East Building was pretty cool. There was a Mark Rothko exhibit that I skipped, but they had my favorite Abstract Impressionist and other modern stuff. There also was an exhibit of pieces from the Corcoran, which was nice. There has been a lot of criticism from the art community over the handling of the Corcoran Museum collection.
In the National Gallery I took in the Dorothea Lange portrait exhibit. A must see, really striking photography.
All in all, a good day.
The photo is from the National Gallery Sculpture Garden, a piece called Puellae by Magdalena Abakanowicz

#Sunset 13/2/24. Quite wonderful tonight. After a night and morning of rain, the afternoon brightened up.
And this was the icing on the day.

#Sunset 6/2/24 Almost cloudless sky, so mostly just golden glow.
And a bunch of airplanes heading off to the sunset, DFW or ATL perhaps.

#Sunset 2/2/24 A bit of a Mordor vibe going on in the first shot.
The second two were taken a half hour later near the same spot the third about two minutes after the second.
Sunsets are dynamic events, no two alike.

#Sunset 1/2/24 Back to normal colors. Much milder, but still beautiful.
And I was able to walk just after 5pm to get these, so Yay!

#Sunset 29/1/24 I don't know if I just never noticed a sunset until this past year but they sure seem spectacular these days.

#Sunset 16/1/24 Just from the backyard, no walk this evening.
Too pretty to pass up
But I'll still use my hashtag.

#Sunset 10/1/24 Lots of people heading somewhere.
And dinner, some acorn squash, Brussels sprouts and a salad.
Yum.

Last years nest.
Looks to have been a happening spot for a while.
