3/11/21 – Face (using Pareidolia)

3/11/2021 — face (using pareidolia). I see a surprised face in this house: the upper windows are the eyes, the gables above the windows are the eyebrows, the gable above the front door is the nose, and the red door is the mouth. Maybe the house just saw an old friend it hasn’t seen in a while and is drawing in a breath to shout hello.

3/8/21 – Notable Woman (with her achievement)

3/8/2021 — notable woman: Margaret Brent. A historical marker in Jones Point Park celebrates Margaret Brent (1601-1671). She migrated from England to the then-colony of Maryland when she was 37. She owned her own land, engaged in numerous business ventures, and appeared in court, leading the American Bar Association to later dub her America’s first female lawyer. She was also the first American woman to seek the right to vote: she asked for the right to vote in the Maryland Assembly as part of her work trying to resolve the affairs of deceased Maryland Governor Calvert, but she was turned down. She subsequently left Maryland and purchased 11,000 acres in Virginia, including what is now Jones Point Park and Old Town Alexandria.

3/5/21 – Monster

3/5/2021 — monster. Here’s my bike in front of what I think is a deer from Mayan mythology. See definition 1.a (“an animal of strange or terrifying shape”). The whole mural is also a monster, definition 1.b (“one unusually large for its kind”), because it’s over 500 feet long. Definitely worth checking out — Mural 23 in Crystal City.
