Washington DC: Through Kira's Lens


We are back from Washington!  The trip home was smooth and uneventful, thank goodness.  Last night I uploaded all of our pictures onto the computer and Kira took the most by far, 382 pictures in 8 days.  Basically, she took a picture of everything she looked at.  Here are the highlights:

Amy's dog


Something she wants to try


Auntie drinking a beer


pigeon


She took eight pictures of this thing.  I don't know what it is.  Either does she.

The day she learned to tie a cherry stem with her tongue, and the best dessert EVER.

Some cute lambs at Mount Vernon


She really liked this display at the Navy museum.  There were a series of dioramas showing how diving has evolved through the years.  This one is from the 1500s.  The diver wore a leather hood sealed to his suit with some kind of fat or sap or something, and there was a long leather hose going to the surface.  It didn't work because there was no air pump and no eye holes so the diver couldn't see or breathe.  Kira liked that.  There was another diorama of a tiny naked guy with a glass bulb over his head.  Kira looked at it and then looked at me to see if I noticed his tiny weiner.  The look on her face was priceless.  I should have taken a picture of that.  


Duck


She managed to make this extremely creepy doll all the more creepy in this picture.

  2. These are excellent pictures, and Kira clearly has an eye for both image composition and creepiness - bravo, Kira, those are both highly prized skills where I come from - but what is a "Lense"?

  3. Hey dummies:

    lense

    noun
    a transparent optical device used to converge or diverge transmitted light and to form images [syn: lens]

    It's the fancy way to spell it and I'M FANCY!

    Dana, that backpack was SECURE! I also strapped the around-the-waist strap.
