Wow, 100 days of photos. Didn't think I would be on my way home from Washington, DC on Day 100 of this photo journey; but then again I wasn't even sure I would make it to day 100. So here's to road trips, spontaneity, and photography. I enjoyed my first trip to Washington even if it was cold, dreary and crowded as heck! I got photos of most of the "important" things. Some day I will go back and actually get inside them maybe! I have to note that other than all the history I was immersed in, the thing that stood out to me the most was the diversity in this town. I couldn't believe how many nationalities were there - living, working and visiting. I have heard that America is a melting pot - Washington, DC, is proof!

102/365 ~ Every cloud has a silver lining and sometimes they have navy blue linings
The clouds today were just amazing. They took on so many different forms and colors. This is the scene behind our office just off Dana Road. It's not the most scenic with the power lines and the bright white split level next to the beautiful red barn but I could hardly see that for the beauty of the sky. And check out the bird - it must have been huge to show up in the lens so far away. Thanks, Mike Dirks for letting me grab your camera and snap this shot before the clouds passed.
103/365 ~ "I touch the future. I teach." - Christa McAuliffe
And so does my daughter, Amanda. Today she was rewarded for her hard work in studying to be a teacher. She received two scholarships which will come in handy when she starts her final year in August. Her dad and I are both very proud of all of our kids and we are happy that one of them has finally decided to do what we both thought we wanted to do ... teach! Congrats, Amanda. Keep up the good work!

I pass this little pond and cabin weekly on my trek from Coleman Freeman to Joseph Laughter. It's Timber Lake Cabin on Blythe Street - here's what their web site has to say about the cabin:
"Timberlake is your sweet vacation getaway, with private lake and secure, pet friendly site. Embraced by a hundred acre wood, yet just minutes (1.6 miles) to downtown Hendersonville, where you find unique shops, award-winning restaurants and numerous services. No matter what you choose to do on your vacation, Timberlake and the surrounding Blue Ridge mountains will satisfy."
105/365 ~ Life expectancy would grow by leaps and bounds if green vegetables smelled as good as bacon. - Doug Larson
I love the quote but realize that the green veggies can be pretty good especially when they are fresh off the local farms. Every spring we anxiously await the re-opening of the corner produce market. This year we've already been by twice for green peppers and zucchini. I'll be honest though, one of my favorite things at this PRODUCE market is the BANANA PUDDING ice cream - haha - hey, bananas are produce, too :)
