189/365: Summer reading

At McPherson Square, Washington, DC

It was a lovely day for my work to end early in DC!

185/365: Fourth of July

Fourth of July: sangria, BBQ ribs, and fireworks!

182/365: Fireflies

I tried very hard to get a cool photo of fireflies tonight. And I completely failed. Alas.

A moon in a cloudy sky was the only sort-of salvageable photo:

181/365: Wheel in the Sky

Oh, and that sky tonight:

In other news: I made it halfway through the year on Project 365! (In even more other news, there are three more days in the second half of the year than the first. Oh, the things I’m learning from P365!)

177/365: Puget Sound

Post-dinner relaxation prior to an early bedtime, in preparation for a very early wakeup call for the next day’s Seattle Marathon. Ahhh, so happy to return to a city I lived in and loved for a summer back in college. The sun-drenched waterfront was a peaceful ending to a lovely day in a city dear to my heart.

167/365: New Hampshire Days

153/365: Confused sky

129/365: If Jimmy Page and Robert Plant had been house painters…

Sorry, I was amused by the thought while composing this photo. And now I can’t get the modified lyrics out of my head.

121/365: Clouds at sunset

86/365: Water and sun make for an emerald isle

Above: Waterford

(OK, I recognize that a B/W photo doesn’t exactly fit the title, but the above photo is my single P365 photo.)

Below: Kilkenny

One of the most stunning elements of Ireland is just how green it can be – the Emerald Isle moniker is utterly apt. For a demonstration of why, see Kilkenny Castle below.

75/365: Crossings

I took a walk on an absolutely lovely London spring morning prior to my late-morning departure back to the US.

Others enjoyed the confluence of sun, blue skies, and greenery.

One thing I love about London is the mixture of the old and the new. Even if I (like many others) strongly dislike this particular new.

Londoners dutifully following directions and exhibiting that unique fashion sense for which the city is known.

Time to pop back underground to depart.

A day of transit and crossing

71/365: A walk in the Malá Strana

A beautiful midday sky greeted me for a walk up one of the seven hills of Prague (and certainly the most visited one).

And at the end of the evening in Zizkov
