Teddy Roosevelt Island

Theodore Roosevelt Island is one of my favorite places in the DC area and it's on one of my favorite roads, the George Washington Parkway. It's a beautiful place to go any time of year, but autumn is especially beautiful.

The main reason I love the island is that it's flat. No kidding. I'm lazy. I'll walk if it's an easy walk, but the minute there's a hill, I get a little grouchy. The other reasons include that DC is so close that you can see it through all the trees and you can get macros of nature while at the same time get landscape images of the DC area.

Here's a picture of Rossyln.

Here's the Key Bridge going to Georgetown.

Here's some ducks that let me sit with them for a while. 

Here's part of the swamp path. They put in a boardwalk so you don't have to get your shoes all swampy. But I did anyway, because I walked a little off the beaten path.

And here's a macro of a couple leaves. I love the textures out in nature. 

Go to the island if you can, but get there early, parking is very limited.
