I stalked this little guy with the nut for about five minutes. He couldn’t get rid of me. I think he thought I was trying to take his nut from him. Does he remind anyone of the Pixar squirrel in the Ice Age movies?

The Mayflower

Cutting through the Mayflower Hotel in downtown D.C. on my way to attend a lecture at National Geographic, I took the opportunity to snap a few shots in the grand foyer as hotel staff prepared for a buffet event. This is my whimsical artist’s vignette of the foyer decorated for the holidays.
