Roosevelt Island Promenade

Yesterday we drove to the Tidal Basin in search of water scenes. That’s the subject of this week’s photo challenge. Today we decided to take a ride to Roosevelt island not only for a morning walk, but to see what other water options there might be. It’s best to visit the island during the week to avoid the crowds. What one doesn’t expect but hears the whole time you are walking are the overhead planes taking off or landing at Reagan airport. It’s non stop! We have been to the island in all seasons. The crickets were certainly out in full swing, there were little lizards scampering about, but not much else. There were a lot of water opportunities to photograph - over the bridge, under the bridge, next to the bridge. And also several Potomac River views - kids and kayakers here and there. Many views of Arlington. There was even a water fountain that a potential. The views towards Georgetown weren’t very impressive and the light just wasn’t right. In the end there may some winners after I do some editing. If nothing else we had a delightful walk. And that’s the real reason for the trip.
