This afternoon, I stopped off at the Forest Hills CVS pharmacy on my way home to pick up a couple of things. And when I got in line, there was only one woman paying for items and one clerk. But in short order, there came to be another four or so people who formed a line in back of me. Now, Wash...

Speechless Sundays: Architectural Details I took this photo last week in front of an old center-hall colonial house in Chevy Chase that my office may be listing.

Tonight, I was going through some pictures that I took while I was in Paris last year, and found an old favorite. I took this at a funky little shop in Puces de Paris-St Ouer. "Puces" means "fleas", and this is probably the largest, though not the funkiest flea market in the city. This was t...

What's an extreme Type-A to do while stuck in traffic after crossing Memorial Bridge from Virginia to the District? Why, whip out her little teal blue Lumix, conveniently charged and sitting on the front passenger seat, and grab a quick shot of the Lincoln Memorial. Sorry that you can't see Lin...
