2. DAR_151110_11.JPG: Atlanta Chapter House Windows: Mere months after the Daughters of the American Revolution's founding in 1890, women in Atlanta, Georgia came together to start the Atlanta Chapter, DAR, in April 1891. It was the second chapter organized but the first to have their own chapter house for meetings. Finding their first building inadequate, members decided to build a new chapter house in Atlanta's Piedmont Park neighborhood in 1910. Thomas Morgan, one of Atlanta's foremost architects, and husband of a former chapter regent (president), designed the new home. Chapter members Georgia McMichael and Eula Griffin donated these stained glass windows for the front of the new building. Mrs. McMichael's window features a reproduction of Washington's Crossing the Delaware, painted by Emanuel Gottlieb Leutze in 1851. Mrs. Griffin's window includes a rendering of the painting The Siege of Yorktown, originally created in 1836 by Louis Charles-Auguste Couder. When faced with a number of major structural repairs, the Atlanta Chapter decided to sell their building and removed the windows for preservation in April 2004. Early in 2014, they gave them to the National Society in honor of the 125th anniversary of the DAR's founding.

There are also DAR chapters in Australia, the Bahamas, Bermuda, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Mexico, Spain, and the United Kingdom. DAR's motto is "God, Home, and Country."

2015 photos: Equipment this year: I mostly used my Fuji XS-1 camera but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. I retired from the US Census Bureau in god-forsaken Suitland, Maryland on my 58th birthday in May. Yee ha! Trips this year: a quick trip to Florida. two Civil War Trust conferences (Raleigh, NC and Richmond, VA), and my 10th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including Los Angeles). Ego Strokes: Carolyn Cerbin used a Kevin Costner photo in her USA Today article. Miss DC pictures were used a few times in the Washington Post. Number of photos taken this year: just over 550,000.
