Yesterday’s story about Old Glory and the significance of my DC visit got me to thinking about the time we spent at the Capitol Building.

We strolled by on our first morning in town to enjoy the early morning quiet before heading to Mount Vernon. A couple of tourists were there taking selfies. We stood and admired ducks splashing in the reflecting pool and the way the light and clouds changed before our eyes.

We later got a closer look.

I really liked this view.
