Yup, this is the front of the building where I live. The 5.8 magnitude earthquake which hit the DC area today caused a section of the brick facade to buckle. Several other building in my neighborhood sustained greater damage with sections of brick crumbling from their facades.

Although frail at 92, she was still mentally sharp as a tack and irreverent as ever. It was such a gift to be able to see this remarkable woman one last time, and to be able to express how much she meant to me.

Today I got the call that she had died this afternoon. So this week’s Photo of the Week, taken from a much simpler and carefree time, is dedicated to Jaunita Peckham…what a woman!

Everyone made it sound like it was going to be the most miserable drive, but it was hands down the most enjoyable road trip I’ve ever had. A few hours north of Vegas, I ran across this old cemetery in Goldfield, NV, and had to stop for some photos.
