11-04-01 – Cherry Blossoms – Flashback of Dad by mosley.brian
What a weekend! As we slide into our non-shutdown Monday here, take a quick pause to look at the best of our Flickr group this weekend. It sure was a great weekend for the shutterbug, that’s for certain. Anyone can join our Flickr Group, and we’d love to see your photos here next week.

Great work everyone. Click through for seven more amazing shots from this weekend. Continue reading

Despite chilly temperatures, spring has sprung in our lovely Capitol City. The trees, and not just the cherry trees, are abloom; DC denizens are fully emerging from their winter comas; runners, outdoor enthusiasts and sports teams seem to taken up every nook and cranny of green space or path. The photogs were also out in full force this weekend, and have captured the essence of spring in DC. Continue reading

Springtime is finally here. Walking around Friday night was so refreshing. The last of winter is gone, and as of last night, Spring is here. The cherry blossoms are coming (look for a list of restaurant specials at 10am!) and warm days aren’t far behind. Evenings spent on the patio or roof deck this weekend are previews of spring to come. We loved all the great photos in our pool this weekend, here’s a great roundup…

Could you feel it? As the clocks turned back on Sunday, little whispers of spring. I soaked up the sun, as did a lot of our photographers. Read on for a glimpse into this past weekend in DC. Continue reading

“March is a month of considerable frustration – it is so near spring and yet across a great deal of the country the weather is still so violent and changeable that outdoor activity in our yards seems light years away.”
– Thalassa Cruso
Pretty appropriate, considering the weekend we just had…

Love it or hate it, Happy Valentine’s Day, DC. Use the photos from our weekend contributors to wake you up this morning; that way, you can avoid snacking on office chocolate until after lunch. See? We even saved you some calories today!

After perusing the Flickr pool this morning, you would have never thought there was some big game on television last night. Apparently dominating everyone’s mood was the celebration of the Chinese New Year in Chinatown yesterday afternoon!
Still, it was a jam-packed weekend for most, along with some great weather. As you settle back to work, take a moment to reflect on the weekend past, including victories won, contests lost, and celebrations galore. Continue reading

We’re betting everyone was tired of being cooped up during Snowtrafficmagedon last week, considering the large number of shots that made it into our pool over the weekend. Get ready for another swipe by winter this week! In the meantime, feel free to bury your head in the snow and enjoy the frolicking of the weekend past.

A quiet weekend around town, something we’re sure most of us needed. Still, several of our area contributors snapped reflections of life in our fair city – including the most peculiar and humorous of signs (after the jump). Check out the best of our Flickr pool offerings for the weekend and if you can resolve that sign conundrum, make sure to let us in on it as well, okay?

Happy New Year by M.V. Jantzen
Good morning and welcome to 2011 on We Love DC. I’m sorry this is a little late, between iPhone alarm problems and just plain wanting to stay in bed a little longer this morning, we’re just getting this moving now. It was an amazing weekend, one full of year-endings and year-beginnings, and even better, full of awesome photographs. Grab your cup of coffee and zen out for just three minutes and the rest of your day will be as a zen koan

If this morning’s dusting wasn’t enough to convince you that the cold heart of winter is here, the next few days of cold temps will probably do it. Fortunately, we’ve got the warmth of the impending holidays around the corner to beat back the chill for the moment.
So while you’re gearing up for another week – probably your last full week, if you’re a federal employee – use our Flashback to linger a bit before diving headlong back into the grind. You’re welcome!

It hasn’t quite soaked in that the holiday season has begun yet. (I suspect it’s from all the food I’m still digesting from the weekend gorging…) So if you’re like me, let’s just ignore Monday for the moment and try to relive our extended weekend passed with some great photos. I’m sure those meetings and phone calls can wait just a little bit longer…
