Between the sights

When our family visited Washington D.C. in Janauary, it was impossible not to notice everywhere the amazing patterns and textures and architecture of this amazing city -- from the chisel marks and wing-like shadows on the MLK Memorial to the curtains in the White House there was a lot of beauty to take in.

I haven't yet posted anything here about our 10-day trip, which was delightful in so many ways -- intellectually, visually, and even emotionally since we got to spend several days with dear friends and meet one-month-old Adeline.  Most of my photos show the things we did and learned -- all the usual attractions.  But I was stopped in my tracks and inspired to pull out my camera between visiting the attractions, too.  So, before I neglect it any longer, here's a bit of what I saw when I least expected it.
