Saturday’s sunrise at Warden Lake in Wardensville, West Virginia. I was nearby over the weekend, so I stopped by to check out the sunrise.

This morning’s 30% waning crescent rising behind the Washington Monument. This was the best view, since the moon was a bit more hidden behind the clouds near the top. Single frame.

Yesterday morning's magnolias blooming at Indiana Plaza in Washington DC — a view I’ve admired in others’ photos for years, and finally got to capture myself.

One more photo from my snowcrete outing in DC last Saturday. I trekked across Arlington Memorial Bridge for this frozen‑river view of the Potomac.
