Food Photography with a View

Imagine that you could eat this delicious Filipino food and, at the same time, have this spectacular view over Lake Taal in the Philippines.  Just visit the Balay Dako Restaurant in Tagaytay!

National Arboretum, Washington D.C.

I have lived in the Washington D.C. area for over 30 years but have never visited the National Arboretum.  I finally managed to do that on a beautiful Spring afternoon when the daffodils, bluebells, snowdrops, peonies, azaleas, dogwoods and pear blossoms were in bloom.

Great Falls: After Snowzilla

Great Falls Park on the Maryland side of the Potomac River re-opened today after “Snowzilla” (officially, Winter Storm Jonas) dumped several feet of the white stuff in the D.C. area.  There were only three cars in the vast car park, so I more or less had the place to myself for over an hour.
