Columns

All the times I had visited DC I had never been to the US National Arboretum. It is known as a must see in DC.  It is a large park, but what really caught my eye were the columns that stood alone away from it all.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.  Especially since I had to wait a good 20 minutes for everyone to walk away.  My husband was getting quite antsy since it was really HOT!

Sculptures in our Capitol

Caught a few around town.

 Remembering those who have served, especially those who lost their lives for others.

Beer Can House

I planned a short visit to Houston to visit a close friend.  But I had to make sure I planned a little quality time with Nik.  When I looked up things to do in Houston, I came across the Beer Can House.  A very interesting little home I must say.

In front of the house.

The walls along the side of the house.

 The back of the house, plus a view of the yard.

Part of the walls up close. Not sure where he got the idea from but I thought it looked pretty amazing!

These are curtains hanging inside the house.

 I had so glad he was able to do so.  We should ALL try to accomplish the same!

New York in B&W

There is something about looking at New York without color. 

It adds a sense of warmth & peace.
