The Weekend in Photos

I flew out of Reagan-National back to Michigan for the weekend. I thought the colors in the sky looked beautiful, so I took this photo:

I had a little time to kill on Friday afternoon, so I went for a long walk in the Arb. I was glad that I was nicely bundled up. Even though it was warmer than it had been earlier in the week, it was still pretty cold. The Arb was a bit of a mess. The Arb staff are in the process of reducing the population of some of the "invasive species", so there were many black locust trees that had been cut down, and were awaiting removal. It will be nice when the new plantings grow and fill up the gaps where the stumps are.

I had dinner with a friend on Friday night at Grizzly Peak, and enjoyed a bowl of their Cheddar Ale soup. Afterwards, we rented "Flags of our Fathers", which was a very good movie. It was different than the typical World War II movie, but I think it's one that the World War II generation would have really appreciated.

On Sunday, I had lunch with some friends at the Arbor Brewing Company. In front of the restaurant was an ice sculpture of a mug of beer, which I thought was very well done.


Now that's a frosty mug!
