I took these pictures the Christmas before last in D.C. The Botanical Gardens had an exhibit of Washingtonian monuments constructed out of autumnal edibles, like cinnamon sticks and varnished pears and great brown nuts. I wish all our national affairs really were conducted in buildings more like these, which seemed to be culled from Act IV of The Nutcracker.
I also wish I had taken pictures of more of the monuments, but I'm afraid I'm not very good at having an experience and taking pictures of it at the same time.

I have the same problem, i.e. seeing everything through the camera lens instead of really being present in the moment. Sometimes I feel like the camera is pulling me along by the neck! Then again, I like taking pictures so maybe I just shouldn't worry about it. I like the Capitol the most . . .
