June 8–10, 2012. In which a good friend and I drive from DC to the ferry in Lewes, miss it, drive the rest of the way to Cape May, stay in a house with a friend and his friends, make new friends, go to the beach, drink, sleep, wander aimlessly to take photos, go to the beach, go to the lighthouse, and catch the ferry back to Lewes. The full Flickr album is here.

I took Bryan to Roosevelt Island for his first time. The island is one of my favorite things about DC. It’s a different place each time I visit, it gives me a nature fix that is very close to home, sometimes I get to see deer, and it honors one of my favorite heroes. We walked all along the perimeter of the island and then to the monument in the middle. Photo by Bryan Smith The deer kept themselves hidden this time, but we still got to see lots of zebra swallowtail butterflies (though none were cooperative about being photographed), dragonflies, birds, lizards, fish, and flowers. The entire photo set can be viewed on Flickr.

My gentleman friend and I made a trip to Harpers Ferry, WV last Saturday. I’ve been going there at least once each of the past several years, but this was the first time that I got to see the Potomac and Shenandoah so colorfully mixing together. It was a hot day and the hike up the mountain isn’t easy. The view from the cliff makes it all worth it. A sample of my photos from the trip are below, and you can see the whole Flickr set here.
