Washington Rediscovered Year 5

It's hard to believe we've been back home in Washington, D.C., for a little over four years now. Although I prefer living overseas, as we have for most of the past 35 years, for the cultural experience and endless photo ops, I still enjoy trying to find things in our adopted city to photograph. We still may have one more overseas assignment, although that's unclear at the moment, and if so, I'm sure I'll come back here and start rediscovering it all over again.
