My ulterior motive was to practice with my new digital camera...I still don't think I'm there, yet.

Lean on me, let our hearts beat in time,
Feel strength from the hands that have held you so long.
Who cares where we go on this rugged old road
In a world that may say that we're wrong.

...Cause I know - A love that will never grow old.

Thanks, everyone, for sharing these wonderful pictures!

Ellemeno, my brother just moved to Utah from the Olympic Peninsula (Port Angeles), so your pictures were especially meaningful to me. I was going to go visit after Alberta, but then he moved. (Maybe I should take a hint!) Thanks.

This is a side of Washington, D.C. you rarely see: on the Potomac River:

too late to input? here is a special place to me....amongst the last large stand of American Elms in the U.S. The place creates a feeling of remorse, lost grandeur, melancholy, and foreboding, yet beauty beyond belief.

Where is it HerrKaiser?!?   There are healthy American Elms all around my neighborhood in Atlanta... Not thick stands or rows of them, but several, here and there.     :)

wow, I did not know the titles of photos remained once posted; sure glad the name was nothing secret!

you are blessed if you have American elms. I know your neighborhood and have seen some of the trees, but they are few, indeed. The photo is in Grant Park chicago. I've been working on restoring elms for over 20 years and now we have some great cultivars and hybrids that may be perfect. But, the true answer is in bioengineering the problem gene.

Lauren, I have a guest room with your name on it.  Say some little word.
