We’ve been exploring Washington D.C., mostly by bike, ever since we moved here earlier this year. I like to snap photos of the monuments on my iPhone and post them to Instagram; it’s an amateur endeavor and totally fun. Here are some of my best shots so far.
Looking toward Washington from the Virginia side of the Potomac in February. There’s my shadow on the ground.
The Newseum says it has the best view in Washington, and I agree. The museum is also well worth a visit.
A memorial to those who died in World War I, photographed Memorial Day weekend. This is not actually a “national” monument; it was put up by the District of Columbia.
The World War II Memorial on Memorial Day Weekend.
Rolling Thunder rides toward the Lincoln Memorial.
We were in the neighborhood and stopped by to see the White House with the other tourists.
An Instagram filter helped my photo suggest the cold winter’s day.

I took this photo on our way to the Folger Shakespeare Library
Part of a larger memorial to Franklin Roosevelt and Eleanor Roosevelt. The dog’s name is Fala. Not the anti-fascist inscription.

I’ve enjoyed being there for every picture with my lovely, wonderful companion.
