A fitting name (The Capital Wheel) for something going round in circles overlooking DC.
Those on the plane could be smart for getting out.
I didn’t know I had so many shots of the wheel.
I’m drawn to Ferris wheels for some reason.
I’ll have to do a cruise on the Potomac River someday.

I mentioned last week that we attended the Polar Ice Express at the National Harbor. Sorry for the delay but the flu had me down for a week. Thought I’d share a few images of the ice sculptures displayed and surrounding area.
We stayed across from the Gaylord Hotel and saved a few hundred $$.
Salute to Service Members.
Show at the atrium level of the Gaylord Hotel.

I can’t wait to take the grandchildren next year.
The Polar Express.
I’d love to watch these creations being made.
The colors they used in the ice were wonderful.
They told us it was 7 degrees on the tour. They give you parkas to wear over your coats.
Next year I’m going to try some different types of shots instead of just the displays.
I guess this is my first post with a holiday theme. More to come.
Should you spend your life in search of enjoyment? Why not, it’s your life, enjoy it. I’ve always tried to enjoy my professional work and with those around me. Yes, it’s work, and yes it’s tough and demanding at times. That doesn’t mean it can’t be enjoyed.
Enjoyment comes in so many ways. Some will work their butts off to help or support others to enjoy life and get a lot of joy out of those efforts. Others spend their life focused on self-enjoyment and are very happy.
Enjoyment can look very different for people. Some may find great enjoyment in just lying in a hammock for a few hours, while some might consider that a complete waste of time and want to play sports for enjoyment.
The types of enjoyment are so numerous I won’t delve into all of them. I will say I learned late in life that I should enjoy it more. I got too caught up in the small stuff.
So now I’m more relaxed. Still have as many struggles going on, if not more, as when I was younger. Dealing with them but not letting them dominate life or take away its enjoyment.
Earlier today I did a post about doing more street photography but being nervous about shooting people. As you can see, I’m easing into it with the above shot.
