Freeway Weeds? Wildflowers sprout annually in California. This purple lupine bloomed in March and brought beauty to Interstate 805 for a few weeks. Beauty and color pop up in the most unlikely of places, including freeway off-ramps. So often we are caught up in the bustle of life. Take a breath, slow down, and who knows, you might catch a glimpse of nature that will brighten your day too! Take care. July 4, 2009

Symmetrical Reflection Construction commenced on the United States Capitol in 1793. Since then the building has been expanded, stonework changed, and history made. Visiting the Capitol and surrounding grounds instills pride in the patriotic. The United States Capitol is wonderful to visit for a lunch-time walk or for hours enjoying tours and the visitor center.

Jefferson Memorial The Jefferson Memorial in Washington, D.C. is set among the Tidal Basin and surrounded by Cherry Blossoms in April. This monument for our third president is wonderful to visit during the day and night. June 13, 2009
