Short work week for most of us this week! In fact, I’m betting most of us at work are already finding ways to not work just to get through these three days before food, football, and yet more food. So to give you yet more excuses to avoid the workweek, here’s our Monday photo fix.
Next week’s flashback will encompass the four-day weekend, so if you take photos around the area, don’t forget to drop them into our Flickr pool for consideration!

Hope you remembered to adjust your clocks yesterday, or you may end up working early on a Monday. But even if you did, we give you an excuse to put off work just a little bit longer.

Hey, did you hear we had some guests this weekend? Roughly a quarter of a million of them, in fact. A lot of you took photos of them. Good lord, did you take a lot of photos of them. Click on through for an extra special super-duper-sized edition of your Weekend Flashback: Rally For Sanity edition.

Hi, Monday. You’ve got a lot to live up to, given how gorgeous the weekend was. I’m willing to give you a chance, being a fresh week and all, but really, check out all the great stuff the photographers got up to the last two days: rock concerts, fall foliage, zombies and SCIENCE!

October around here is the best time of year, in my opinion. The leaves change, the air is crisp, and everything is in transition for the upcoming winter. It actually reminds me of a passage from “Hymn to Intellectual Beauty”:
The day becomes more solemn and serene
When noon is past–there is a harmony
In autumn, and a lustre in its sky,
Which through the summer is not heard or seen,
As if it could not be, as if it had not been!
– Percy Bysshe Shelley
Hope you had a great weekend! Here’s to a great week, one and all.

Another excellent weekend in the area. From the Flickr pool, it seems most of our contributors spent the weekend enjoying the H Street Festival, so if today’s Flashback isn’t enough for you, we encourage you to skim the pool for more highlights.

It was the perfect end to an imperfect summer. As schools get underway and the work week begins anew, we offer you the means to escape into summer for just a moment, thanks to all our awesome contributing photographers.

One more weekend of summer (unofficially) to go, everyone! Hope you all survived this past one; nothing to look forward to this week but heat, heat, and more heat. At least a three-day weekend awaits us at the end.
Until then, hide out in the air conditioning and see what some saw these past few days…

With the kids heading back in to school today in P-G and DC – and more starting over the next 2-3 weeks – you suddenly realize that summer is just about over. Which means the tourists are tapering off, the heat is going down, and more Redskin angst is around the corner. (At least the Caps start camp in less than a month, so there’s that.)
Still, you might be stuck in the office for your work week. And we bring the goods in photos for you to enjoy and settle in on a Monday. Just know that…it’s just getting better from here.

Monday already? And more storms today?
I’m taking my coffee and withdrawing back in time. Join me.

Hope you enjoyed the last few days, because this week’s going to be a scorcher. We suggest some Monday morning therapy paging through some weekend photos, drinking the beverage of your choice, and hoping for a quick fast-forward to Friday.
Welcome to the dog days of August in DC… Continue reading

What a weekend. The weather was darn near perfect, and we’re just about to let Congress go home for the month. The anticipation of summer vacation is out there, you can see it and feel it and touch it. This was a weekend of dancing, music, partying, wonderful food, the slow contemplative joy of the weekend and the right kind of blackberries. Let’s hold on to that weekend moment just a little longer, shall we? Continue reading

Record heat (our fourth 100+ degree day this summer!) and a monster storm seemingly dominated the weekend, but one look at our Flickr pool says otherwise. Try to think of more pleasant things this morning aside from sweat, humidity, and lack of power; you can use our Flashback to kick-start the daydreaming. Continue reading

Dear Monday:
Please be gentle. Here’s some photos to distract you. Can we play nice now?

And a weekend it was. Spain wins, an octopus goes undefeated, we finally get rain, then back to heat, and as usual, our awesome Flickrati were out in force. Be sure to check out a new feature here on WLDC, and if you’re interested in being spotlighted, drop me a line.
Meanwhile, time to indulge in the weekend for just a little bit longer! Continue reading
