Any ideas? Caption contest?

Sweet, may they hit all four quadrants and as many neighborhoods as possible! The photo above is from the Saturday’s Van Ness/UDC Farmers Market (4340 Connecticut Ave, NW). I’ve also seen some of their goods at Smucker Farms (2118 14th St NW.) Anyone spot them elsewhere?

Props to the gardeners, photos don’t really do it justice, but this landscaping turned out great. It makes me like/appreciate the building about 1000 times more than I used to.
Thanks to a reader for sending this wild scene of a crow “dive bombing” a raccoon in a tree early this morning.
North Cleveland Park. There are so many my three year old doesn’t even bat an eye anymore. I, however, get very very excited!!

Thanks to a reader for the updated shot. The tree fell this Saturday on Yuma between 36th and Reno Road.
A reader reports just after 1pm:
“No one hurt but the car is obviously a total loss. Tree came down after a gust. The owner of the house with the tree (on city land) said he had been worried about the health of the tree and had contacted the city, but there wasn’t any obvious problem with it. Power is out for about 50 houses in North Cleveland Park/Tenleytown.”

Thanks to a reader for sending:
“But, in adorable news, it looks like DC police and humane officers rescued an adorable juvenile beaver from a fountain outside the Van Ness Metro Station on Wednesday:
WTOP reported:
“after some discussion and a little evaluation, it was decided the beaver was in good condition and old enough to be on its own, so it was released — to a quieter, wilder corner of the District.”
The twisting poles symbolize the fluctuations in price per barrel and, of course, our dependence on foreign oil.
Any other guesses?
