No longer totally dark...

...when I go home at night, yeay! Stopped at one of the overlooks over the Potomac river on the G.W. Parkway to take this. The sky was gorgeous. This is for @fueast who's flying home tomorrow.

I have to make an effort to get back to my project and catch up with you all. I promise I will.

@amandalomonaco Hi Amanda, and thanks. Nice to know I haven't been forgotten. Yet!

@meisen325 No worries. I've been around, but not really around much. Hardly commenting and such. Life gets busy.:)

Aw that's very pretty and thanks for the tag and conversation during my trip. Not quite ready to leave until 3. Might fit in a couple of shops first :-)

Love the color and the silhouette of the branches - but especially the swollen buds reminding us that spring really is right around the corner.

@fueast Ooooh...shopping! I'm on my way!!

@meisen325 No rush they're not open yet. Had to resort to Starbucks

@fueast Sadly I had to resort to the office cafeteria this morning and now I'm in the black hole that is my desk. I'll go shopping in Georgetown tomorrow and pretend it's Cambridge.

@barbsmith Yes, it's cold today but last night, when I took the photo, the air where I was standing had a definite whiff of spring.

I fav'd this. Great colors. Love the silhouettes of the branches. Are those buds I detect? Please say yes!!
posted February 25th, 2013  
Love how you've done this!!! Such a beautiful sky and gorgeous lacy branches!!

fantastic contrasts! love the color of the sky

@ptowncook Not yet buds, Laura. These trees keep those little flower-like thingies throughout the winter. Not sure what they are.
posted February 27th, 2013  
@meisen325 Bract? I made that up though it does have to do with trees I think. If I'm right, let's call me brilliant!
posted February 28th, 2013  
@ptowncook Looked it up. You could be right. I'll let you know if I find otherwise. How are you doing up there with this latest storm?
posted March 1st, 2013  
@meisen325 The storm was a while ago now. Though they predicted snow for the last two weekends, we didn't get any. And we've had some warm days so I can now see grass! Want spring to come so badly! You'll get it soon!

Stunning capture !!

@jodimuli Thanks. As you can see, I haven't been around in a while but still lurking occassionally. I am ambivalent about getting back in the saddle of 365 but I miss the community quite a bit so I'll probably resume my project in the not-so-distant future. Go get the endoscopy and I hope you feel better. You also need to put some protein in you, pronto.

@meisen325 : such a beautiful sky Monica!! When in Rome, check out La Rampa restaurant next to the Spanish Steps and Osteria Il Bucatino, in Testaccio. Both serve excellent roman cuisine xxx

@aud_c Thank you very much, Audrey! I haven't been to the land of my ancestors in a few years so very excited to be going back. We'll be sure to try those places. Thanks again!
