Some stuff from our travels to DC that weren't part of another blog post..
Near Virginia Avenue and C Street is a bronze sculpture by John Dreyfuss (B. 1949) called "Full Count." It's a fun, baseball-themed work that Dreyfuss completed between 1988 and 1990.

We visited the Lincoln Memorial again (see our earlier visit
here) and took one or two extra pictures.

Behind the Lincoln Memorial, two neighboring bridges lead off to Virginia and to Rock Creek Park. The Rock Creek Park bridge is flanked by two sculptures called The Arts of Peace. We parked near the bridge and saw them close as we walked back from the Lincoln Memorial. The statues were designed by James Earl Fraser and erected in 1951.

The bridge to Arlington was under repair, with some impressive floating platforms in the Potomac.

| This work might be done by now |
