Our Second Visit to the National Gallery of Art
This is one of the most beautiful art museums that I have ever visited. I could come back again and again to this place. Especially when you walk in and see this…..
Oh my goodness!!! This was the Ames-Haskell Azalea Collection.
I mean honestly, do I need to say more!
I did do some walking around… not much because I wanted to see this the whole time.

Just beautiful….
If I lived in D.C. I would probably come here a few times a month. Just to walk around and enjoy the rooms. So pretty…. If you missed our first visit you may read it here.
Thanks for reading….

You know what I think you are right! It does look like a baptismal font! Great guess and thank you for stopping by as usual!
