Sorry about your cat Brenda, He is young compared to when my cat got sick with Thyroid cancer. Giving pills to cats is no fun and I could not afford the Radioactive treatment. I would wait to see if the meds work, but you have to look at your expenses too. It such a tough decision to have to make. I...

That is so funny Chet, only people who live and work in DC can understand! I was at the Capitol this week working and it was so busy! Remember, Cherry Blossom week in coming up, which means no parking anywhere!

One more suggestion, I have never done this, but it looks like so much fun. They have Segway tours now, I see them when I'm driving through the Mall area. I see little kids on them as well. I think your little boy would have a blast and it's a good way to save your feet while seeing the monuments. S...

I know I have said this before, Band aid brand anti-itch gel is great, I should buy stock in that company. I carry it with me all over St. John. I even offer it to people I see with big red splotches on thier legs.

A bartender told me to use Gin on my legs. It also helps stop the itching. I tried it and it worked.
Might want to get a bottle on your next trip. Also when I lived in Florida we used to use Skin So Soft by Avon.

I've covered murders,car accidents,plane accidents, 911, etc. One thing that has always kept me going is knowing that maybe if I showed the world my photos is it would ...

Yes, It is very nice. It was built because of what happened, but it was needed. It is all underground so it does not take away from the Capitol itself.

The New Tourist Center at the Capitol was built in response to a gunman who shot and killed a police officer as he was making his way through the halls of the Capitol. I was there that day feet away when it happened. It was also to keep the tourist out of the cold when standing in line to enter the ...

Again turning a question into a political debate :twisted: DC is a wonderful place to visit. This is where I work and I live about 30 minutes away, so I call it home. If you can not appreciate what Washington has than please just stay at home and make room for all the visitors who appreciate our Nat...

No, I have not been there since the opening ceremony. I did a photo story on it. Also while your there, across the street is the National arboretum. If it is chilly outside,it's a great place to warm up and see all kinds of plants and trees species. Something different at least to all the musuems. S...

Maybe Anthony should start a little photo agency on this site, where people like Joshie can sell their photographs for walls at home. It would support this site as well as artists on the Island.

The best way to see DC is at night when all the monuments are lit up. The double decker buses are a great way to see the sights and you can jump on and off to see the sights. The Newseum is great for kids also many interactive exhibits. It is located on the Mall near the US Capitol Building. The Spy...

I reserched getting a point and shoot since mine got flooded on our last trip. The Canon G10 is getting rave reviews. It is what most professionals use when they don't want to lug around the big cameras or they use it when still shooting film as a replacement for poloroid when checking lights. It is...

Joshie, Love your photos! You need to protect your copyright, you can right click your photos and people can use and save them. The resolution is too high. Also you need to fill out your metadata in photoshop and add copyright to your photos. A lot of bad people on the internet these days that steal...
