The War is Over! — This painting in the Rotunda depicts the surrender of Lord Cornwallis after the last battle of the American War of Independence, the 1st August—today—1781. Most people neglect to understand our battle for independence was a long and drawn out conflict spanned by six years.
Another private tour photo from New York City, this time lunch in Chinatown.
An up-close viewing of the Constitution at the during a donors’ event on the morning of the Fourth of July.
Hal and Mary Ellen Wagner celebrated their 58th wedding anniversary with a two-day VIP tour package in . Here, they’re pictured on the roof of the Kennedy Center enjoying the sunset with their guide, Felix.
The U.S Capitol at the end of the day.

is for honoring and remembering the men and women in the U.S. military who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. On this day I think about my grandfather, Lt. George Raymond Dreher, who was killed in battle on Guam on July 23, 1944. This photo shows him—standing, the first one on the left—and other Marines on Guam in 1944.

Like Lacework — The cherry trees of the Foxhall neighborhood, DC. Glory!
Peak Bloom! — Was, apparently, yesterday, though already over the weekend the show appeared to be ON. For many trees, such as the one we see before us, it will be their last bloom 😢, as they are original from 1914 and at the end of their lives, to be replaced this year.
The Water Well — As part of our commemoration of women this month, we’ll show those honored in the District of Columbia. This is statue of Hellen Keller from the state of Alabama. It is one of the two statues which each state has at our nation’s capital. When we think that Helen, working with those who cared for her, was able to become an author, though being blind and deaf, we marvel. ❤️👏❤️
Rainy Day Benefits — No crowds and magnificent reflections! Guests with us yesterday at the MLK.
SNEAK PEEK AT SPRING — It may be little early for it, but it WAS a glorious spring-like day yesterday at Mount Vernon, George Washington’s estate. In addition to the warm temperature, the air was crystalline.
A MOTLEY CREW — For a tour today at the for Presidents’ Day. Here with one of our guides in front of a portrait of President Clinton. .
Magical Majesty — Of the US Capitol. We@so enjoyed our guests, the Parks, for a couple days, through rain and sunshine, night and day.
On a recent tour stop at the Lincoln Memorial, guests Freddie and Frankie from Pittsburgh step out of the Mercedes Sprinter with their guide, Felix. Later Freddie leads Felix down the marble steps of the memorial. A fun time was had by all!

A Series — We’ll be posting photos from our extraordinary visit to the Order of the Cincinnati at the Andersen House here in Washington, DC. Built by a diplomat and his heiress wife, it’s nearly the size of the White House and certainly more opulent. It now houses the Orde of the Cincinnati, for which the city is named. This painting shows the Triumph of Maria Foscari in her marriage to the Doge of Venice.
All to their Own — Nothing like enjoying the nation’s treasured sites and having them all to oneself, as our guests did yesterday afternoon at the Supreme Court!
Solemn Perfection — The unerring rows of headstones at the Arlington National Cemetery.
Clear View — The Capitol Rotunda in the afternoon light, emptied of visitors.
Florentine Renaissance — This fine example of American neo-Renaissance style, in the manner of Florentine palazzi, such as the Strozzi, was the largest and oldest private bank in Washington, DC., Riggs Bank. Alas, the once worthy enterprise was caught in the 2000s laundering money internationally and was all but shut down by the government. PNC acquired the business and the building is now a marvelously chic hotel of the same name.
Original — Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, in memory of the more than 2,100 Union soldiers of the Civil War who are buried under the tomb and these marvelous summer flowers (impatiens). At the Arlington National Cemetery.
In Awe — The grandchildren of guests during a private tour of the Capitol, here in the Rotunda.
GW — George Washington is probably the most prolifically featured man in statuary in the DC region. This statue can be found at the (George Washington Memorial Temple of the Masons, Alexandria, VA). So many of our Founding Fathers were Masons and the magnificent Masonic temple in Alexandria explores that beautifully—quite a treasure of discoveries.
Good Times — Photographed here last month at the are our guide Felix and driver Gabriel at the conclusion of a five day tour with these marvelous guests from Mississippi. Many of our tours are rather like summer camp: it’s hard to say goodbye!!!
Up Close on the Hill — During some of our tours we see presidential motorcades and we cross the paths of politicians. While talking about the west side of the Capitol the other day, we chanced upon (Senator Ted Cruz) , who was leading a rally protesting the oppressive state of North Korea.
👨 Senator Ted Cruz is Republican and represents Texas.
🏛️. The West side of the Capitol is where the presidential inauguration is held, facing the . The work they’re doing on it started not long after the January 6 invasion of the Capitol building. .
The Ceremonies — Half the fun of being surrounded by these magnificent monuments and architecture is viewing all the ceremonies that take place around them. Tuesday evenings, during summer, the Marine Corps Marching Band plays a concert at the Marine Corps Memorial, next to the (Arlington National Cemetery).
Oooh, yes! — A Roman style figure by the towering sculptural talent Canova, late 18th, early 19th centuries. There is currently a magnificent exhibition of his works in clay at the (National Gallery of Art, DC). Canova is truly one of the greats of sculpture dating back to the Greeks. .
Looming — The beautiful dome of the Capitol as seen from the garden of the ._.court garden. Gardens everywhere here in DC!
Hawaiian Banner — This dazzling quilt is a banner from the Hawaiian Monarchy before the annexation by the United States. It’s now on view for an exhibition on “Empire” at the . We just couldn’t exactly discern wherefore the Union Jack in the design for this Hawaiian banner. If anyone knows, please do tell! .
Declaring Independence — A re-enactment at the on Pennsylvania Avenue, just before the parade on July 4.

78 Years Ago Today — The Second World War ended in the Atlantic Theater, i.e. Europe. Our cover photo features some veterans of the war who attended a ceremony at the national @wwiimemorial here on the @nationalmallnps.

The Vice-Presidential Retinue — During the week the Vice-President of the United States arrives to work from her residence at the Naval Observatory, a couple miles away, with what appears to be great fanfare, though it’s only basic security. During our tours it’s not uncommon to see this—and every now and then, the much larger production of a Presidential motorcade. . . . . . . . . . . . ##washingtondc #districtofcolumbia #dc #dmv #usa #toursofdc #visitdc #exploredc #dcliving #dclife #igdc #weclickdc #snapdc #fotodc #travel #cntraveler #mydccool #kamalaharris #kamala #vicepresident

Recently we were on tour when the ceremony for the conclusion of WWII was taking place—including three veterans! In the video at left and on the cover photo! It was such a gift to see these men who gave it their all for freedom from tyranny. They’re nearly 100 years old and among the last veterans. . . . . . #veterans #wwii #usa

Happy New Year! On February 1, 2022, the Lunar New Year brings in the Year of the Tiger, which is third in the 12-animal Chinese zodiac cycle. Tigers were born in 2010, 1998, 1986, 1974, and so on. Supposedly, a person born in a particular year takes on the traits of that year’s animal. Not surprisingly, tigers tend to be powerful, brave, competitive, fiery, and impulsive. And while they can be very charming and well-liked, they're sometimes stubborn as well. This video shows how one of the tigers at the Smithsonian National Zoo felt when told it was his year... #washingtondc #districtofcolumbia #dc #dmv #usa #lunarnewyear #tiger #smithsonianzoo
We’re a little embarrassed that we missed posting something yesterday on American Zoo Day since we’re big supporters of the National Zoo, which is right outside our office window. Although this clip looks like politicians fighting over pork in an appropriations bill, it’s actually two lions disagreeing over who should have a piece of meat. The Smithsonian National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute, one of 20 Smithsonian institutes and museums, opened in Rock Creek Park in 1891. It was designed by famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted Jr., who also oversaw the planning of Rock Creek Park and most of the parks in D.C. #washingtondc #dc #smithsonianzoo #smithsonians #nationalzoo #lions #zoo #rockcreekpark #fredricklawolmsted
Washington is reopening and the animals are back! The Smithsonian National Zoo opened to the public this past weekend. The elephants seemed especially happy to see visitors again! 🐘 🐘 🐘 #nationalzoo #smithsonianzoo #washingtondc
