Break in Perspective

Today is hump day, and as such most people aren’t thinking beyond the fact that we’re still stuck in the middle of the workweek.

So to shake things up a little bit, here are four things that upset the expectations of The Hump Day. First: the beach.  My mom and I drove to Savannah, Georgia for a family wedding at the end of May, and managed to make it to the beach during our visit. Being on the beach for even an hour is incredibly relaxing and peaceful, a feeling that these pictures can help to recapture.

Second: Georgetown.  I was in Georgetown this Sunday, and it was the perfect summer day to take some lazy photos by the river.  I loved sitting by the Potomac in this Georgetown park—it didn’t provide the typical city view of tourists and monuments, and it was pleasant to sit back, people watch, and enjoy the sun.

Third: Metro. No, really.  During my evening commute yesterday, I noticed these views from the top floor of a parking garage. I loved the huge view of the highway, townhouses, metro station, and trees framing the scene. It gave me, literally, a new perspective, one that I’m glad I stopped to notice.

Fourth: My dogs. Because when the beach and perspective shifts don’t relieve the stress of the workweek, adorable canines will do the trick.
