Oh sure, we just picked one of Bill’s great catches on Wednesday, but I couldn’t resist this wonderful shot of Nats Park (click on the image to see how great it looks embiggened!) It’s been perfect weather to catch a game — and lucky Bill, he attended on the only night the Nats beat the Mets last week, in a sudden upset in the bottom of the eighth inning. Go watch them play the Phillies this weekend, and see if you can get as nice a shot as this one.

It’s been kind of a spectacular August for D.C. – even the New York Times admits it. Bryan Bowman found what must surely be one of the few unused outdoor spots in the city right now, turning it into a dreamy little still life.
