The Absolute Beauty That Is Now Crossing Over The Teddy Roosevelt Bridge Over The Potomac River Just Now Shrouded in Drizzle & Fog & Mist That Reveals To Our Eyes Perhaps One-Third Of What We Would Normally be Greeted By / The Heart, The Soul, The Guts Of The View From This Bridge : Mysterious, Beautiful, GO Take Pictures Now, Ahora, Agora, Maintenant!

To my photographer friends that shop here at Cleveland Park Wines & Spirits : Ralph , Karen, Paul, Michael : I was blown away quite literally a few minutes ago crossing from Virginia into Washington D.C. to come to work  going over the Teddy Roosevelt Bridge that was like passing through a thick vail of fog and drizzle that covered everything, like a shroud, like gossamer, so many transparent " mille feuilles " to gently conceal and airily mask so much that our eyes would normally be greeted with! I loved it. I wish that I had had my camera with me. Please go there and cross the bridge and snap away and then post here and share your photos : how wonderful that would be. It was such an unexpected treat for once to see so little, perhaps only a third of what we would normally see. Like in a dream, a lovely, mysterious dream, to concentrate on less and perhaps to come away with more of the true essence of that space and view from over the Potomac River looking at all our national monuments and the Kennedy Center, the Vietnam Memorial, The Washington Monument, The Jefferson memorial, The Capitol, the Albert Einstein Center, the State Department and some of the Navy Yards, and so very much more. I missed my favorite this time, too : what I call the miniature living green-to-yellow-to-orange-to-brown, from small-to-mid-to-tall ivy and vine Washington-Potomac-River-Living-Monument that is probably pretty quiet and sad now with no leaves as it slumbers . Cheers, all, Happy Saturday, Happy Weekend! You've earned it, enjoy it!  Anthony ( TONY ) Quinn  1/11/14    And to my photographer friends from Randolph-Macon College, GO, Vais - Chuck, Martha, Ken, David ...   TONY
