It will be a photo-heavy week or so on the blog. I just returned from Ecumenical Advocacy Days in Washington, D.C. and although we had very little free time, I did get out to walk twice during the conference, and an opportunity to take photos on Monday when we were on the Hill. There'll be more about Advocacy Days once I have time to process it all.
Friday was rainy, and we were at the Presbyterian Compassion, Peace, and Justice Day at the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church. This was pre-EAD which was truly ecumenical. I was hoping to get to the Tidal Basin to see the cherry trees, but my only glimpse was through the window of our van as we drove from our hotel in Virginia to the church. Even in the rain, it was beautiful, and returning to see the cherry trees in bloom is now on my bucket list. It wasn't until Saturday, however, that I had a chance to go for a walk. A friend and I took to the street for our 30 minute break in the morning, and walked down Eads Street.
I've seen a lot of construction walls in my day, but none as wonderful as the first five photos here for Sandie's monthly meme "Five in Five," taking as many photos as you can in five minutes, and choosing five to share. I loved this display.
We actually had snow showers here this morning, so you know how much I appreciated the beauty and warmth of Spring in Washington.
I also love the fact that riding a bike or renting a scooter was a viable option!
If I had to guess, I'd say we have another 3-4 weeks before Spring will erupt here in Western New York. But I'm so very ready when it does!
