@camiller — awesome find! For some reason, I don’t think this was in Reston. They don’t let us put practically anything in our front yards!

It is a lovely old beast though!

Your Wordle today is

RELIC

Remember, no selfies because that’s bringing something from home.

The snow was too soggy for my bike to stand in it. Otherwise, it would be a bridge between the two hands. Called Mutual Respect, Mutual Understanding, this work by m.l. duffy is at The North County Government Center in Reston. When I first moved here, I thought it was two horse heads looking at each other.

The Wordle you should illustrate with a photo is

STILL

Again, if you’re going for the noun, please don’t get in trouble with the law.

Hello Kris – do the rule changes mean that “feather flags” for businesses or events are okay? You know, the ones that people put out in front of their business that say “CAR WASH” or COFFEE”… Does the Jan 4 update mean they’d be within your discretion? I’ve been avoiding them per Jan 3 rule.  I hate to ask you to legislate this to death – but we ARE in DC. lol

Rule update Jan 3: Flag must be on a flag pole (vertical pole or angled mounted to a building)….already posted “other” flags count…but let’s make this more “traditional” flag size/style going forward (e.g. no more little yard banners, etc.)

Rule update Jan 4: My discretion to count any flag not on a traditional pole (rule update above).  Generally, I’ll count “real” flags (think full size, representing a generally known entity/cause)

i’m not sure there’s anyone in the world who doesn’t recognize this flag now, but just in case, it’s Ukraine.

Frying pan fire station number 36, Fairfax County. You have to zoom in on the photo to see the name of the station because of the sun angle.

Ugh. The Wordle is awful (again) in terms of illustrating  it with a compelling photo. So you have TWO choices.

You can use the word TWEAK (which is the Wordle)

Or you  can use the word CANDY.

You choose, choose only one, and post it only here OR in the Strava 2024 Photo Scavenger Hunt club.

Watch for refrozen places!

this is my favorite sculpture in Reston. Called Convergence, it is by Zachary Oxman. Usually I think the figure looks as if he’s thinking. Today he just looks flipping cold.

1/21/24 this is some kind of company flag. It says Meridian, but I have no idea what that company is.
