The Edmund Pettus Bridge, in Selma, Alabama, is the site of many civil rights marches in the 60s, including Bloody Sunday. Although Martin Luther King Jr was not there on Bloody Sunday, he would be two days later to march to the site of the violence and pray.

Encased in Ice
Living in the DC area, we got the extremes of each season. Summer would be sweltering and winter, well — the years we lived there, DC went through Snowpocolypse, Snowmageddon, and whatever the snowstorm last winter (2015/2016) was called.

You could probably already tell that by the different State House pictures I’ve taken. We took a tour of the US Capitol when we lived in the DC area. FASCINATING and beautiful! SoContinue reading “Capitol Dome, Inside Out”
