I was walking through the yard the other day and noticed that the cherry tree has blossomed. If I had planned it out I might have used a diffuser and/or a reflector, but for a drive-by shooting this came out quite nice.
Left my hotel room around dusk and walked downtown to see the sights. First thing I came to was the White House, this being the back of the building and the side with the closest public access.

Now I can tell you that as the last glacier moved across New England it created these distinctively-shaped hills in the path of [...]
