Inaugurated

Joe Biden was sworn in as the 46th President today. SO happy! Trump is gone. He didn’t even attend. He went to Florida early this morning. The whole country breathed a big sigh of relief when Joe took the oath. And of course history was made when Kamala Harris was sworn in as Vice President. The first woman, first woman of color, first south Asian….and on. It was simply amazing seeing her up there take her oath. It was a great day!

Sad Day

Today the death toll from the COVID 19 pandemic reached 400,000. That is just crazy. When will it stop? Who knows. This evening the bell at the National Cathedral was rang 400 times. We went up there to see the event. It was so quiet. On the cathedral they projected “Lord hear our prayer” and the number 400,000.

The Count Grows

Today I went bird watching and added 9 birds to the count. I’m up to 10 so far! Here are the ones I photographed today:
