Deer in Rock Creek Park

On a lovely, sunny President's Day today, I went for an afternoon run in the park. It was a refreshing reminder of how invigorating it is to run outside, and it's easy to be in the park and forget the city for a while.

Found these guys along the way!

Warm enough to go swimming

Happy D.C. Valentine's

The people at the Washington Post's The Buzz blog are geniuses. They came up with a concept called Washington Valentines, a photo gallery of very D.C. one-liners about love. I love it. A few of my favorites below, and the full gallery of reader-submitted posts cane be found here.
