Sincere thanks to each of you for taking the time to view and comment (and for those favs!). Washington, DC is so beautiful in the Spring that it's hard to go wrong with a camera.

@swguevin I shoot with a Canon EOS 7D in raw format. This is an HDR of three images made with a 9-stop neutral density filter ranging in duration from 7 seconds to 1 minute. I then further tweaked with PhotoToaster and Snapseed. Thanks!
