Artistic Interpretations with Margaret - Washington D.C.



Welcome to "Artistic Interpretations".  I have just spent five days in Washington D.C. (traveling home today) and daily added a few impressions that captured my attention.  This first image, iconic Marilyn Monroe, is from a previous trip to D.C.  The rest are impressions of the area around DC. The monuments we are seeing on a night tour tonight so I don't have them for this challenge.

Feel free to respond to these images in any way you like.

Please post an original poem to "Mr. Linky" below and feel free to write to more than one image.  Remember to be friendly and visit the other poets.   As always, I am looking forward to your artistic interpretation.

Unique silhouette at Arlington Cemetery

Bench in DC. Just because it's pretty

    Are there supposed to be more than one image?

    Seems we had a self-replicating Mr Linky, but I think I have managed to fix it and also resize the photos.

    Thanks for sharing this array of very different photos, Margaret.

    Thank you Kerry! My phone is not the ideal gadget for creating a challenge. We are still on vacation and my battery just died as I was posting!

    Great pictures - I had to think for awhile (always a painful process)

    I was raised in this area of the country. Your great prompt brought back some memories!

    I am glad that you got to go, Margaret. Good for you !!
    We like it too and have a granddaughter in college there (Georgetown) whom we should pay a visit to. Arlene put a 20 in her Halloween card but we know that won't go very far there. ("I know, to whom we should pay a visit" but I do things like I do.). :)

    Beautiful photos Margaret! Sorry to be so late, but with Charlie home, recuperating from back surgery, my muse and time don't seem to click.
