Heading north on 17th street crossing the MALL in Washington. This is looking west toward the Lincoln Memorial. But, in the foreground, is a strip of sod, (actually 3 areas) that I installed several years ago when the Queen came to place a wreath at the WW II Memorial.

being quiet and shy
in a world full of pushing and shove."
