101. Visit the National Arboretum
Welcome! Check out our featured DC area business Maids in Black, DC Cleaning Services.
So this is a photo tour of the National Arboretum in DC. You’ll also meet the photographer behind these photos, Carlyle Smith. Check out his full portfolio on Soulfotography and follow him on twitter @clylesvibe.
As I write this, I’m zoning out listening to Black Rob and enjoying these beautiful pictures. The music, the vibe, and these lovely images combined to make for a perfect night for me.
Then this thought hit me:
I really need to get out the house a bit more and enjoy places like the National Arboretum in D.C.
I should grab my shoes and and go for a hike or run and take in these lovely views this weekend.
Or bring a friend, some picnic food, and find a cool spot in the shade to relax
Or finally figure out my new camera so I can see how close I can get to a butterfly like this one.
Washington DC is a lovely city, but sometimes we miss out on some of its hidden beauty as we go about the daily drudgery of life. I need to get out more. Starting this weekend.
What about you?
If you’re like me and you need a bit of unwinding, the National Arboretum in Washington D.C is a great place to start.

Hi Rohan, thanks for your share, i really wish to visit DC in one day, but traveling from Asia will take me more than 20 hours:( Will definitely plan out a trip to US end of this year:)
