A detail from the tree-trunk house that was featured here yesterday.

Interior of the tree-trunk house behind the giraffe and pink creatures.

Big growly doghead sculpture at Baltimore's Visionary Art Museum.

In honor of Pride Week, here are the giraffe from yesterday's friends.

Also in the Visionary Art Museum courtyard is this friendly giraffe.

This fabulous giant bird and its nest are in the Museum courtyard.

Giant whirlygig outside the Visionary Art Museum's swan entrance.

More of the mirrored wall with the swan bus next to it in Baltimore.

Change of venue, in front of the Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore.

Last of the brick shots in old town Alexandria, like the sidewalks too.

Mossy brick guard wall and newly painted old brick house with stars.

I love old bricks, the hand-made irregular shapes, the range of colors.

I shall commence with the lovely bricks of old town Alexandria, VA.

Took me a while to figure out why I liked this white house so much in old town Alexandria, which is primarily bricks as you'll see shortly. Looks like Cape Cod, in particular, Provincetown, my favorite place.

Next we had lunch in old town Alexandria, that's DC across the water.

I wanted to show the scale of National Cemetery, these photographs were shot so far apart that the lighting changed while we were there.

One last mom shot, this was what I saw first when we found her plot.

Another angle, my mother's the first in the front end of the center row.

My mother's tombstone is the first one at the right edge of the photo.

Now these are magnolias, which is why I wasn't all that sure about the previous two posts. This is at the National Cemetery in Arlington, VA. Patricia posted a similar shot the other day on her blog, which is what happens when two people with cameras take pictures together.

Same flower as yesterday, a magnolia - I think, but in Alexandria, VA.

A Battery Park blossom, tomorrow you'll see some from the DC area.

Backhoe, by the river, same construction site as the last few days.

Another shot of the dirt dunes with Jersey a mile across the river.

Another angle on one of the big dirt dunes from yesterday's photo.
