Shadows

It's a HOT summer day in DC. My parents never cease to amaze me with their landscaping and gardening skills. (My father built this deck by hand, by himself!) My mother keeps her tropical plants in the sun - and during midday, when the light is the harshest, they cast shadows onto the deck that move every so often, either with the wind or the movement of the sun. 

Location Scout: Horticultural Center

 
 

Wandering and exploring aimlessly does not go in vain, especially when you stumble across a location like the Horticultural Center. Typically, this space is an event venue that is used for weddings, banquets and receptions. However, it was just my luck to have the place all to myself for an afternoon! I kind of just wandered in and nobody told me to leave, so I quietly floated around, basking in the ambiance.
