There are many things I do for amusement, but for happiness I like to gather up my memories and go for a walk in the rain. — Robert Brault, 2014
Particularly when I have the pavements to myself… a genuine indulgence, even at 2am 🤍✨💦 all was dew-kissed #RoyalSt #OldTownAlexandria #wisteriapods #October4th
Love beauty — it is the shadow of God over the universe.
— Gabriela Mistral (1889–1957), ‘Decálogo del Artista,’ translated from Spanish
A Sunday to steal one’s breath in #OldTown #Alexandria #RoyalSt #StMarysBasilica #reflections #November23rd
Am an avowed Zen seeker and history geek, rising before sunrise to shower and dart out the door, one of the 1st to hit the walkways in search of plaques. Bonus is having St Mary’s to myself… ah, solitude! #OldTownAlexandria #RoyalSt #LeeSt #AlexandriaDC #1774VolunteerFireDepts
Up and out with the roosters, still a broiler but on the move to Arlington to occupy g-toys and Buddy while mom and pop tear around themselves. Lovely summer despite constant wardrobe changes. ‘Til later.💁♀️💖🏃🏼♀️

Nature never fails to amaze & amuse… in awe of its cleverness, charms, humor. This wee finch on #RoyalSt is constructing its nest in the midst of demo & diggers, in a most unusual place… a splintered cavity of an old trunk. Spied it flying with a napkin, thrusting it down.🫶🪺
The living moment is everything.
— D.H. Lawrence
A sibling rivalry between hatchlings on #RoyalSt (mom loves you best!), adorable, Mama’s a tough love advocate. Time to fly, guys. #Cyrous designs on #CameronSt and a lovely drooling Mastiff, sturdy as a bear. #OldTownAlexandria
Photos from this morning’s walk to the 8am… ultra bright sunny Friday, heavy with rose scent. Repaving the full length of #RoyalSt — just below the old brick and cobblestone recall earlier days. Hijacked by someone railing about the conclave, missed the Mass entirely. Sigh.
Back home in a jiffy, a full docket awaits again, as does the menagerie. Took a slight detour to Swifts Alley to collect a few more ‘magic stones’ for the g-tots who are obsessed with nature finds at the moment. May’s a pastel world, lush with promise. #RoyalSt #OldTownAlexandria
I speak not of men's creeds—they rest between Man and his Maker.
— Lord Byron, ‘Childe Harold's Pilgrimage’
Down to the last 2 weeks of Lent, purple and violet dominate as Palm Sunday looms on the 13th, then Easter. Blooms are exploding overnight in a lovely symmetry. #RoyalSt
Through joys and challenges find your bliss, be yourself. Grey skies, blue skies, sunny or cloudy, keep the heart light and true. #LifeIsRich #allweneedislove #OldTownAlexandria #PittSt #PrinceSt #RoyalSt #countyourblessings
And everything was too beautiful…
— James Oppenheim, ‘The Mystic Warrior,’ 1921
It truly was as the 80s prompted tulips to bloom a tad early—absolutely sublime along #RoyalSt #OldTownNorth #Alexandria Monday will remain in the 80s with a few showers. A lamb’s exit for March.
How often will fond memories creep
Into my lonely heart,
To awaken longings fast asleep
And tear my soul apart?
— Anonymous, ‘The Last Request,’ 1922
Such a beautiful Friday morning along #RoyalSt #OldTownAlexandria The mind floods with reminiscence, 💘gives🙏🏻’s.
The Zen was short-lived this morning, sun bright yet gusts blew in once again, temps dropped to the 50’s, felt like barely the 40’s. But hi-ho, Saturday will peak in the 80’s! Intoxicating, vibrant, even the shy but scrappy resilient can bloom. #RoyalSt #OldTownAlexandria #March
A misty Saturday Ides of March in Old Town Alexandria today… but it’s been celebrating St Pat’s since the parade on March 1st. May the Guinness flow. March should be named ‘Int’l Get Your Pub On Month.’ #RoyalSt #KingSt #FarmersMarket rain or shine, my spot in the rafters.💁♀️👩🏻🌾💚
The arctic temps that just won’t quit are getting old. Have switched the daily meanders slightly, setting out at 11am rather than 7:30am, but still in the rafters. Even the flurries are shy, sugarcoat at best, as birds shelter. #OldTown #Alexandria #RoyalSt #PittSt #February
Yes, admit redundancy with respect to St Mary’s but it’s a daily stop, and its history and architecture unfailingly cause shivers. As did today’s deep freeze temps; the LL Bean puffy coat actually stiffened and crackled. #OldTown #Alexandria #RoyalSt #CityHall — stay toasty, all
Let us be like that unafraid bird
Lighted upon a twig that swings
Feeling it yield but singing on—
For knowing that he has wings!
— Victor Hugo
Ambled again ahead of Demi, another incoming polar round on Sunday. Saturday teased Spring. #OldTown #Alexandria #PrinceSt #RoyalSt
There’s not a day that passes that I’m not furiously multitasking, despite being up at 5am long before dawn breaks. This morning was chilly but winds were calm, a hint of cerulean sky seemed to suggest serenity, birds aflutter. #StMarysBasilica #RoyalSt #OldTown #Alexandria
