SuzyView Cream of the Crop  More info | Mar 04, 2016 10:56 | #1 It's that time again! Who wants to meet up one morning at the Boat House? I'm game this year as my knee is doing better and I hope to be 100%. Walk around the Basin, grab a bite or just hang out. Message me or post here! What is the best day to meet? Not Monday as the garbage trucks haven't done their thing. Not Friday, it's too crowded. Take Metro. I take the Omnibus from VA. Let's get together again! Suzie - Still Speaking Canonese!

I'm out at Silver Hill Tu-Th. and I'm just starting to photograph the Voisin (parts and fabric that were removed and replaced when they restored it prior to hanging it in the WW I Gallery). Jon

We need to do a cockpit 360 before they do. Currently we're hoping for Mon. the 15th. Jon

Mar 16, 2016 19:38 | #9 Feeling stupid? I'm shooting at the Temple for an Easter pageant event Wed pm., Fri. pm. My son is home from college. From my calendar, I see Friday morning is clear. We can meet very early, around 8:30 or so and walk around the water for an hour or so. What do you think? Suzie - Still Speaking Canonese!

Mar 18, 2016 04:53 | #11 You must mean because the snow and cold Sunday may just kill the blossoms? Yeah. It's been too weird. Suzie - Still Speaking Canonese!

Mar 18, 2016 16:30 | #13 Explain to me why the trees around mall and disgusting gas stations have the prettiest blooms right now? I can't understand why the ones by my house are not even close to blooming. Suzie - Still Speaking Canonese!

The trees that are blooming around us are pink; I was up at REI Rockville and the garden apartment complex behind the store had white-budded trees that were even further along. A lot of things go into it - how much sun they get, whether they're sheltered from the wind (so the sun can heat things up more), snow accumulation during Snowzilla (snow could insulate the ground from the subsequent heat wave, slowing the trees down), . . . .

Mar 18, 2016 20:16 | #15 I am so busy the next few weeks and I'm having surgery on my hand in the beginning of April, I think. I have two fingers with mucus cysts. So, uncool and sad. But I hope to be able to shoot shortly after surgery. Glad the fingers are on my left hand. Suzie - Still Speaking Canonese!
