Corcoran Gallery

I had the pleasure of visiting the Corcoran Gallery of Art this weekend and really enjoyed it!  I haven't been to the gallery in years, but it was throughly worth the $8 ticket.

The museum is gorgeous.

We started off in the American and European Art section.

Look familiar?  Amazing.

 One of my favorite pieces.  The pictures don't do her justice...

Clockwork.

Bronze work.

A random but beautiful stained glass piece from a Cathedral in Europe, along with a sculpture piece called the "Veiled Nun."  Again, much better in person :)

Next up was the modern art section.

And last but not least, photography and media :)

Warhol's Mao.

I spy with my little eye...

I took about a hundred more pictures but I'll spare you all of them!  I definitely recommend the Corcoran if you're looking for something artsy to do in the city.  Thanks for the invite, JB!

Shop It To Me

I stumbled upon this gem of a website a few weeks back.  I'm all about a good sale, and Shop It To Me essentially browses the internet for deals on brands/sizes that you pre-select, then emails you once a week with a list of those sales.

It all started when I signed up for this:

And now my alerts look something like this:

And I'm OK with that!

Horse Play

Elle invited me out to the barn over the weekend to take some pictures of her riding.  Horses and photography?  Yes, please.  I grew up riding, and while I haven't been in the saddle lately, it's always fun to be around horses.

Elle has a shared lease on Jim, a beautiful Thoroughbred who was a racehorse in his previous life.  Such a sweet boy!  We only had about five minutes of sunlight, but we still got some fun shots.

Action photography is much harder than I expected, but so fun!  Thanks for inviting me out, Elle.
