The Jefferson Memorial is always the right place and the perfect time.

"...I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man." - Jefferson to Dr. Benjamin Rush, September 23, 1800

(inscription under the dome) — at Thomas Jefferson Memorial.

Supporting a long window, the architecture is a robustly-carved lion head, classical architecture found throughout downtown Washington, DC

Day is done. Caisson horses at Arlington Cemetery finish off their day. Their riders are their grooms.

Sometimes the treasures in life are hidden in plain sight — at Lincoln Memorial.

One of the most beautiful public buildings we own. The glorious Great Hall of the Thomas Jefferson Building, which rises 75 feet from the marble floor to the stained glass ceiling. Marble columns, staircases, paintings, and mosaics? Seriously. Hands down, it is one of my most favorite places on Earth, and within spitting distance of the Supreme Court. Don't forget: get your reading card while you are there...then you too will be allowed in the incredible Reading Room.

Read a book today. — at The Library of Congress.

Did I say that I love everything about Washington, DC? I do. From the architecture to the free lectures to the open-to-the- public everything! It's not for everyone, but, it is for this someone and it is a fun place to visit. Come on down! You know you want to!

This post supports #MonochromeMonday initiated by old-guy-photos@old-guy-photos and of course, there needs to be a flower. Always a flower. :)

Don't ever forget what a wonderful world we live in, people. Let's hold hands around the globe and make this earth really spin. Some days, it is not as easy to see, so we must try harder to give everyone the proper focus.
