Lady Liberty
The Statue of Liberty (her real name is “Liberty Enlightening the World”) was dedicated on October 28, 1886. France gave the United States a wonderful gift when they gave this to us. It is a must see for every American. Have you visited this spot? Leave a comment below.

MLK & Washington Monument
It is almost time for my annual pilgrimage into Washington D.C. for the Baldrige Examiner training. While I am there, I try to get into the city to photograph as much as possible. That’s my plan this year as well, along with having dinner with my cousin Eric. Should be fun.
This photo is from last year’s trip. As you can tell, this is the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial with the Washington Monument in the background.

Veterans Day
Today is Veterans Day in the United States of America, which is a national holiday to honor people who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces. It coincides with Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, which are celebrated in other parts of the world. It also marks the anniversary of the end of World War I, which ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918.
I am thankful to everyone who currently serves and has served our country in the past. With that, I’ll stop and let this photo of the Vietnam Memorial speak for itself.

MLK Monument
This is a 7-exposure HDR photo I created from my Washington DC trip last spring. I had to wait around the monument for about an hour to get a time without tourist in the way, walking in front of me, looking at the monument, etc…. Those darn tourist!!! What are they thinking, when they visit these sites and get in my way???? You know it is all about me.

Fort Necessity National Battlefield
Before I tell you anything about this photo, I wanted to say that I posted this picture for Randy. Randy is a co-worker who enjoys reenactments like this….so here’s to you Randy.
I took this picture about a week ago at Fort Necessity National Battlefield in Fayette County Pennsylvania. This is part of the U.S. National Park Service and preserves the battlefield. This battle (July 3, 1754) was early in the French and Indian War, and resulted in the surrender of British Colonial forces under the command of Colonel George Washington….. a first of many losses for a young George.
This young WVU student volunteer put on a musket demonstration and as you can see I captured the moment.

Great Falls National Park
This is a small site within the National Park Service situated in Virginia about 20 minutes from downtown Washington D.C. It is approximately 800 acres on the Potomac River with this wonderful waterfall called the Great Falls of the Potomac River.
My co-worker, Darleen, told me about this location just prior to my Washington D.C. trip. I am so glad she did, what an amazing location. When you are standing here looking at this waterfall and the surrounding park, it is hard to believe it is so close to the city. Just awesome!!
