‘Summer Kiss’ by K’s Clicks
Well well well, it looks like Monday has snuck back upon us, and the memory of the weekend is all that remains. Wait, there are also photos… quick, to the flickr pool!

The Week in Drinks in Pictures
All photos by the author
If you follow me on Twitter, you might be aware that this has been an eventful week. Literally. Friday the Social Chair and I hosted her birthday party, Sunday we hit our usual brunch, Monday I had a tasting, and Tuesday saw the launch party for Dan Searing’s new book, The [...]
Photos: Old Washington in the Winter

I love Flickr. Here at We Love DC, we all love Flickr. Without your contributions to our pool, the site would be a lot less colorful. But one of my favorite things about Flickr is The Commons, where museums of the world post selections of their historic photography collections. [...]
Photos: DC Henge, such as it was, the moon and special bonus storm

Yesterday had the potential to be a squee-worthy afternoon for DC photographers. The first day of autumn meant the possibility of spectacular light as the sun set directly along the east-west axis of the city’s streets during an event we have come to know as DC [...]

Hope you enjoyed the last few days, because this week’s going to be a scorcher. We suggest some Monday morning therapy paging through some weekend photos, drinking the beverage of your choice, and hoping for a quick fast-forward to Friday.
Welcome to the dog days of August in DC…

Think Cool at 100F
Hard to believe this was five months ago:
As of noon, DC has officially hit 100ºF, according to NBC4. The record to beat is 103ºF. We’re getting close!
To help you stay in a cool state of mind, here are more photos of the White House and Lafayette Park area from right after the February Snowpocalypse:

Photos: Welcome back, Fort Reno.
”

I love Fort Reno. And I don’t mean in some, “Oh man, that’s a great event” sort of way. I mean…well, you remember that scene in “Say Anything” where John Cusack is holding up the boom box outside Ione Skye’s window? That’s how I feel about Fort Reno, the summer concert series [...]
Photos: Summer vs. winter. Let’s compare.

Remember winter? Yeah, that was nice. It was just four short months ago that we were recovering from the Great SnOMGasm Snoverkill Snomageddon Whatever the Heck we Finally Ended Up Calling It of 2010. Back when we put on layers of clothes just to get out of bed and then walked [...]

‘a summer romance’ by ‘Blinkofanaye’
At 5:00 on any given Friday afternoon in the summer, Jazz in the Garden is just getting started, and space quickly becomes scarce as hundreds of worker bees flock for a little wine, maybe a pitcher of (surprisingly potent for what you pay) sangria, a picnic and some tunes. It’s a [...]
This Week in Rodents: Squirrels 1 – Hawks 0
‘Salient #10′

A local squirrel is recovering after a narrowly escaping a hawk, this week. This normally wouldn’t be news except that the incident was captured on film by local photographer Mark Hansen. Check out the photos here and note the priceless WTF look on the hawks face, post miss. Sweet shots, Mark!

Weekend Flashback: 1/29 – 1/31/2010

While Saturday proved to be more than just a ‘dusting,’ it was still less than our Snowpocalypse of December. And when there’s light, fluffy snow and a sunny day afterward, it’s just natural to have photographers out in droves to capture the beauty created around the capital area.
Enjoy.

Senate Subway, Then and Now
From historical photoblog Shorpy we get this underground gem:
That’s the Senate Subway, c. 1915, just two years after it started operation, part of the whole Capitol Subway System. After the jump, you can see how the Senate Subway still uses open-air cars, though somewhat more modernized.
(Update: Well, boy is my face red; the ‘today’ photo [...]
Talkin’ Transit: Eye Candy
‘Inside the Metro Car’
courtesy of ‘Bogotron’
I was going to take today’s article and gripe about the “Follow the Rules” mandate now being enacted by most of the Metrobus drivers this week. But really, what’s the point? (And what exactly is their point, too, other than to make commuters surly and late?) So if you’d like [...]

Zooma-zoom-zoom and a boom-boom!
Sorry. Couldn’t help myself.
Hope your weekend was as fantastic as our weather was. Technically the last weekend before fall, I think summer finally went out with some panache. Now we get to look forward to fall colors, football disappointments and holidays galore! In the meantime, hold on [...]

‘what to pick…’ courtesy of ‘philliefan99′
Once again, a great cross-section of photos from over the weekend in the area.
If you’d like to see your photo pop up on our Flashback, here’s how it works. Once you upload it to Flickr, drop it into our photo pool. (The photo has to have been taken between that [...]
Weekend Flashback: 6/26 – 6/28/09
‘Wild DC – Immature Bald Eagle – 6-27-09′ courtesy of ‘mosley.brian’
The weekend before the ‘mass exodus’ of the Fourth holiday…and it was a gorgeous one. Eastern Market now open, the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in full swing, boating and water sports on area rivers and even simple ‘backyard’ fun – our area photographers caught it all.
So [...]
Street Car at Washington Monument, 1938
From Shorpy, the historic photo blog: a DC street car near the Washington Monument in 1938. The view seems to be looking west from 15th St, and could almost be a modern view, aside from the street car, rails, and old-timey automobiles parked on the ramp — right up to the base of the Monument, [...]

Weekend Flashback: 5/15 – 5/17/2009
‘Rolling In’ courtesy of ‘Rob Shenk’
To many, this past weekend was our last before the throngs of tourists flood our fair District. Starting this upcoming 3-day weekend, the ’summer’ season opens up and quiet weekends around town will be nothing but a memory until after Labor Day.
But even though the ‘official’ start of the summer [...]
