Washington, DC is full of history.
Here are images of the Presidential Box at Ford’s Theater where President Lincoln was assassinated, and the house across the street where he died with an old picture of the bed he died on followed by a color picture of the same bed at display there

Swans, ducks and seagulls in the water near the shore of lake Zurich gathered to get food thrown at them by people, with three seagulls in the air. The sun is setting behind the mountains in the distance giving a golden hue to the sky.

Sunset at Lake Zurich, Switzerland
People were throwing bird food in the water, and that is why birds were gathering in that spot. There were swans, ducks, seagulls and others.

A picture taken in one of the streets in Ghouda, The Netherlands/Holland.  Cheese can be seen hanging from wires above the street.

Ghouda, The Netherlands

I love cheese (who doesn’t?), and one of my favorite cheeses is Ghouda.
This picture was taken a few years ago during a visit to Ghouda. We enjoyed the city (many things to do) and sampled cheese in some of the local cheese makers shops.

Beautiful red roses in the foreground, grassy area and palm trees, looking down at the sandy C-shaped beach bordered by large rock formation. A few people are strolling down the beach while others about to take the stairs down.

La Jolla Cove

La Jolla is one of my favorite places to visit in Southern California (the other is Coronado Island). Great weather, beautiful beach, good food and lots to do.

A man making glass in Murano near Venice. Glass making shops in Murano are frequently visited by tourists from all over the world to watch the ancient art of glass making and buy souvenirs. Some recently made glass objects are on the table next to the artist. The only sign asking visitors not to touch the glass is in English.

This photo was taken in January a few years ago. It snowed a few days before we arrived and on the day we arrived, then cleared. Loved the smell of wood burning chimneys and the local shops and restaurants. It was peaceful and so beautiful.

Several crocodiles are hanging out close to the bank of the river with one seen on land. There were many others in the water, not showing in this picture.

All seasons are beautiful, but spring is special because of the wide variety of beautiful vibrate colors everywhere. These are just a few of the many beauties I saw during my short late afternoon walk yesterday.

After cold weather gripped Washington, DC all winter with snow and ice staying on the ground for over a month, the first signs of spring are finally here.

Birds in a tree on our walk this afternoon.
Usually we see that many birds in one tree close to sunset; neighboring trees had only a few. Someone must have called an emergency meeting.

interesting geometric patterns on the surface of a frozen pond in Virginia, USA. This is probably caused by cold wind blowing while the water was in the process of being frozen.
