Uninspiring Capitol Hill Morning Walk

It’s been a few weeks since we drove in to town for a morning walk. It’s been so blasted hot. We have been going to the neighborhood park where the path is predominantly covered by a tree canopy. But it finally rained and the temps fell a bit and it was overcast, so we ventured in to town this week. We parked in our old Capitol Hill neighborhood. Parking is usually a pain and it still is but we found a spot right where we used to live. Since I already had one option for the photo challenge this week, I wasn’t on the search for anything in particular. And nothing in particular was even inspiring. I was hoping we would make it to the US Botanic garden. We did eventually get there after winding around the Capitol building first. But the doors were locked until eleven AM - which was rather odd. We usually get in at ten and have a look around. So that was a disappointment. We didn’t make it over to the National Gallery because it would have been too far to walk and it was still rather humid. The only things of interest that day were a few giant hibiscus. Usually we get a bit energized after visiting our old neighborhood. Not this time.
