These Corinthian sandstone columns were originally part of the east central portico of the United States Capitol. The columns were in place for presidential inaugurations from 1829 through 1957. They were dismantled in 1958 to make way for the east front extension of the Capitol. Twenty two of the original 24 columns were installed at The United States National Arboretum. The project was completed and dedicated in 1990.

Photography gives me such great joy. It's wonderful to discover the beauty in familiar places and things as well as in some new and different ones. For instance, if you look closely at a dandelion gone to seed, it's really quite beautiful and intricate. A simple cottage shutter and a bench become a composition. A beautiful sunset on the coast of Maine becomes even more inspiring. I hope you will experience joy in viewing my photographs. Thank you so much for visiting and come back soon. I will post additional photographs every now and then.
