Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. CINCI_200629_04.JPG: The George Washington sculpture is gone.
2. CINCI_200629_11.JPG: George Washington by Jean-Antoine Houdon after the original marble statue in the Virginia State Capitol
3. CINCI_200629_20.JPG: The Society of the Cincinnati: The Society of the Cincinnati was founded in 1783 by the officers of the Continental Army to perpetuate their fellowship, preserve the memory of the Revolutionary War and promote the principles for which they had fought. The society is named after Cincinnatus, a hero of the Roman Empire who refused rewards for serving his nation and returned to his plow after leading the armies of Rome to victory. George Washington, portrayed in this statue by Jean-Antoine Houdon returning to Mount Vernon after the Revolutionary War, was celebrated as the American Cincinnatus. He served as president general of the society from 1783 until his death in 1799 and remains a model of patriotic virtue. Anderson House, the former home of Ambassador Larz and Isabel Anderson, has been the headquarters of the society since 1938. Modern members of the society -- descendants of the American and French officers whose service secured the independence of the United States -- work to preserve the memory and promote the ideals of the heroes of the Revolutionary War.

2020 photos: Well, that was a year, wasn't it? The COVID-19 pandemic cut off most events here in DC after March 11. The child president's handling of the pandemic was a series of disastrous missteps and lies, encouraging his minions to not wear masks and dramatically increasing infections and deaths here.The BLM protests started in June, made all the worse by the child president's inability to have any empathy for anyone other than himself. Then of course he tried to steal the election in November. What a year! Equipment this year: I continued to use my Fuji XS-1 cameras but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. The farthest distance I traveled after that was about 40 miles. I only visited sites in four states -- Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and DC. That was the least amount of travel I had done since 1995. Number of photos taken this year: about 246,000, the fewest number of photos I had taken in any year since 2007.
