Opposites


After posting my bonsai pictures, I found this link (above) - a nice contrast.
This world is full of beautiful and amazing things!

National Arboretum - Part II
















While at National Arboretum there was an orchid display we got to see.
All of the above pictures are of flowers in the orchid family.
There is an amazing variety in size, shape, color, and even the way they grew.
Very interesting.

National Arboretum - Part I









This is a mini crab-apple tree (above). It has been growing since 1905.






I took a trip to the National Arboretum with my friends.
It has been on my list of places to visit for a while now.
These pictures are from the bonsai exhibit - mini trees and forests - I loved it!
Some of the little leaves were just starting to change.

Taste of Georgetown








We went to the Taste of Georgetown a couple of weeks ago.
Several of the nice restaurants located in Georgetown let you sample their food.
Cafe Bonaparte was the best thing I tried.
Their crepes are simply DIVINE. Wow.
We also stood in line forever to get these cupcakes (forever) and
to my disappointment were merely cupcakes ... and
I found out cupcakes don't compare to dessert crepes in my book.
These are pictures I took while waiting in line forever.
