United States Botanic Garden
I love flowers...and I love photographing flowers. So naturally the US Botanic Garden was an absolute must see. The first thing that hit me was the warm humidity, nice since it was still a tad cool outside (although, today was the warmest of all the days we were in DC). The next thing that hit me was the color. Color color color!! Color = giddy happiness!! Even though nothing was blooming outside, the bounty of blooms inside this one building was phenomenal.
