A sample shot of the National Garden. The moose with the ribbon at left adds something.
I like the design of the First Ladies Water Garden. I read that it's patterned to look like a quilt. Now that I know that, I can see the resemblance.
Another shot, with the Conservatory in the background.
A view of the greenhouse part of Conservatory above colored National Garden foliage.

A butterfly bench near the so-called Butterfly Garden. It wasn't the time of year for butterflies (except in sculpted form like this).
The Rose Garden. And someone dressed-up parading around the garden as part of a photo shoot.
Another view of the Conservatory, this time with the Capital in the background. Credit goes to Di Yin, who took this picture first.
Another sample shot of the National Garden, with the sinuous facade of the National Museum of the American Indian in the background. My mom thinks the building looks like it was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.

Conservatory
A panoramic video of the Conservator, taken from the upper level walkway.
A single shot looking down.
A view of a stream with a shallow waterfall (it's hard to make out) from the ground level of the conservatory. Artificially brightened.

Bartholdi Garden
Bartholdi Fountain and its many pigeons (in silhouette).
A tree in Bartholdi Garden filled with robins. You can spot a number of them in this picture, but there are even more than this picture shows. I wonder if they eat the red berries. Incidentally, I like this picture-of-Di-Yin-taking-a-picture shot.
A sample shot of Bartholdi Garden to show how alive and colorful parts are, even in November. My parents liked the Peruvian lilies (the distant red flowers in center-right). Also, a ton of bees are flying around the (what I think are) black-eyed susans. (I didn't read the label.)
