Oliviam Peña (1943-2010)

Caracas, Venezuela: I haven't posted any images for the last 20 days. Sadly, today's image is a tribute to my mom who died March 2 in Caracas at age 66. Mom's ashes were taken to Laguna de Tacarigua (photo above) near the city of Tacarigua in Miranda state. My mother's cousin lives by the lake, which is connected to the Caribbean Sea. In addition, there were four masses said in mom's name, three in Caracas and one in our home city of Valenica. 

Thank you to all my friends who have wondered where I have been; I have missed your images as well. I will try my best to resume some sort of routine while still in Caracas. I hope to be home soon.

Washington, DC--Back in the city from our Atlanta trip. We are all wondering how long it will take for the snow to melt. There is not a single place in DC with out snow, although some areas are cleaner than others. The sidewalks in our neighborhood are pretty clear now, so today I went for a long walk. I saw this wonderful neon sign on U Street NW: Anyone for a read?
