The Keys to the City
In my hand, the keys to my new DC apartment. Two sets of keys and one extra, mysterious key. Some might say it's just an extra key to the apartment building, but some would be wrong. You see, in order to keep all of the wonderful Smithsonian museums and National Park Service's monuments free, the DC goverment asks all of its residents to help take part in the upkeep process. So that extra key is actually a key to the Washington Monument. At least once a week, and more often if I can, I am required to head on over to the National Mall and take out the trash at the Washington Monument and shake out the "Welcome" door mats. It's a bit of a hassle, but really, I feel like I'm doing my part to help take care of the city I now call home.

Your pictures look so good. What kind of digital camera do you have? Also, congrats on you new apartment!
I have to say, I am also impressed with the quality of photos my camera captures, especially since it wasn't terribly expensive.
It's a Canon PowerShot A520 (4.0 Mega Pixels). I'm especially impressed with the crispness and the brightness of the colors in most of the photos. But maybe this is because I was coming from a pretty weak camera before this one.
Also, it should be noted that this isn't actually my camera, but my work's camera.
