Congrats to MnomeNa:
“Only two hours earlier these bikes were going about their daily business, peacefully loitering in Pershing Park.
120 minutes and one All Hands on Deck later, they were all hogtied and in transit to a mass holding cell downtown.
Peter Nickels could not be reached for comment.”
It’s a complicated one but I dig it.
Sometimes captions are not necessary.
I love the tiling on the border. And of course this is the home in upper Woodley/Cleveland park with the great mosaic:
Ok, it’s not exactly a garden but how can you not photograph a butterfly…
Great wood carving and here and of course some good stained glass up top.
This huge one is in upper Woodley Park. I always think it’s wild that there are houses this big in the “city”.
Back in April I mentioned that Gori Cafe had opened up at 1113 V Street, NW. I accidentally posted their photo last week to the wrong post but what I wanted to say was that the sign they recently put outside is phenomenal:
And I mean that very sincerely. For those that live in the area and are looking to support local businesses – look no further. And $2 for a domestic beer from 4-9pm is incredible. I think I need to have a happy hour here – We’re long overdue…
The title on this photo from cacophony76 made me laugh, it says simply, “I don’t wanna know…”. Perfect.
And I’ve been meaning to ask those that ride the red line – how are you surviving? I’m still hearing that there are 30 minute delays. For those that ride the red line regularly: Have some of you switched from the subway metro to metro bus or other ways? Are the waits really an extra half hour everyday? How are you not going crazy?
“We adopted Corinne Junior (C.J.) in the summer of 2008 from the animal shelter on New York Avenue. C.J. had been a stray, and is estimated to have been born on the day of our wedding. At first we had a hard time figuring out what to name her, but she clearly had a personality connection with Corinne, so Corinne Junior was a natural fit. Feisty, demanding, overly confident, very cute, and an unnatural ability to get into sticky situations.”
“This is Emma. Despite her peaceful demeanor, she is actually a very dangerous revolutionary. She humbly submits her riverboat headshot for the coolest pet in the hood contest, but asks that you not alert the authorities as to her whereabouts in Columbia Heights at an undisclosed location within stumbling distance from Wonderland.”
“Meet Binx. We adopted him a year ago from Puden’s Place Cat Rescue. He’s a Siamese-Manx mix, which means he has no tail, not even a little stub! His hobbies include lying on cardboard, sleeping in our lazy boy, and knocking cat toys under furniture and expecting us to fish them out.”
Ed. Note: Submissions have been closed. No more entries will be accepted at this point. Sorry for the confusion – all pets received before the deadline will be posted, of course. No NEW submissions will be accepted.
The cats are not competing against the dogs. There will be 5 dog, cat and “other” finalists that will each compete in their own category. We’ll have a poll in each category to select the winner. Using the comments section for these posts will help me select the 5 finalists for each category. You can see all the entries here. Please see after the jump for more entries. (more…)
I really liked the angle on this shot taken by Crosb. I was impressed it was taken with an iphone. So incidentally are folks pretty happy with the quality of photos that the iphone takes?
