August is probably the least enjoyable month in D.C., between the hot weather and the lack of scheduled celebrations and events. But there is still lots to see – here’s some of the cheerful things we’ve seen recently:
Goat Yoga on the Mall
Sunsets
Signs of new life
Summer crop of ducklings in the Capitol Reflecting Pool, and a new owlet in Rock Creek Park.
Activities
Colorful flowers
Free concerts
Corpse flower
It might be odd to celebrate the blooming of such a smelly plant, but Washingtonians seem to enjoy the rare occasions when the plant blooms at the Botanic Garden, which it did this week.
Panda’s birthday
Bao Li celebrated his fourth birthday this week (his first in D.C.). There will be another party for Qing Bao on September 12th.
