National Gallery of Fine Art in DC ~
Went to the National Gallery in DC yesterday...
holy grief... if you have Menieres,
bring noise cancelling head phones. Is very loud.
Not a bad Gallery..
Glad they had wheel chairs... won't of been able to see it all, without one.
(though a scooter would be a lot nicer)
One very cool thing I saw, Leonardo da Vinci,
Ginevra de' Benci painting.
Is the only da Vinvci painting in the USA.
You can see the painting on This Link.
Did not take a photo of it, because it is so old. But here are some photos,, of other things we saw.

Was a long day but worth it.
Also ended up with some free parking in a handicapped spot, very close to the museum.
Allowed me to walk a little longer, before needing a wheel chair.

Dyfra ~
Photos of Dyfra this morning.
Yes, she has a fly sheet on... she has to have something on if I want to ride.
Should re name her ... Pig Pen. LOL
Trying to get my horses' to play, with me just there....
I just ride her walk, tolt (she has a good range of speed, while keeping the tempo clean) and canter. She does have a good Trot.
Bantams and Marans~
Took some photos today.
One of the Roo's has golden shoulders... not a good thing for Lavenders... but I like him a lot at this point.
Of course the Better Lavender... didn't want me to take his photo.
These are the bantam version of the
Ameraucana.
Ameraucana.
The Big hens, who will be moved to the large poultry Hen house soon,
are Blue Copper Maran.
and beards.
Plan on selling the others.

Roses and House plants~
My new Miniature Rose, is called, Sweet Fairy and smells really good.
This one will just be a house plant. In the future will put it in my Art room.

Over wintering DHs Fuchsia, and the 3 young Roses on their own root stock.
When the Roses are big enough they will go out in the garden.
Was finally able to buy the much needed grow light, they should do much better now.

The Forbidden City ~ Anniversary day out~
We decided to have a day out for our Anniversary a day early.
After a not so great start to the day yesterday... due to the Marathon, we sort of gave up trying to get to the
Richmond Fine Art Museum...
we stopped at the Science center... not very well done at all.
DH was getting grumpy but I wanted to try to get around the marathon to still get to the Art museum... hours and hours later, we finally did it.
OH MY Goosh.... what a pleasant surprise... the Richmond Fine Art museum is incredibly well done. Really, really enjoyed what I was able to see...
Walkie bits kind'a gave out on me... but we will be going back.
For our 28th Anniversary today...
So yesterday we decided to celebrate and see some of the wonders of the Forbidden city exhibit. Just stunning.
And to Top that off... their restaurant... cooked food for me with no salt in it... and it was good!
This is the first Restaurant that would change their menu for me, since moving to VA.
They had to custom make the food, very happy they were willing to do that.
So now I have a place I can go out to dinner at. Whoot!

Nice night out ~ Horse show~
I really need a lens that is f2.8... what I have is an f5.6 but with that, and the way the lighting was.... Not too bad given the way things were.
Last night out.. Gala of the Royal Horses... here are just some of the photos I took. Still going through them.
The lightening was dark and purple... Could take the time to clean that up later.
