The weather in Washington D.C has been splendid, with the temperatures reaching into the 70s over the last couple of days.

For a recent holiday lights post, please check out Meadowlark Holiday Lights. 

Please

It has been great weather to see the holiday decorations in and around the D.C. Area including the tree at the Capitol on the National Mall, downtown.

I wanted to share this photo taken of the 2013 U.S. Capitol Christmas tree. as soon as I could to encourage any other folks who follow this blog in the D.C. area to visit this incredible tree. It is truly one of the most beautiful sites in D.C. this time of year.

In the new week, I will share some more holiday photos, but for now, I hope you enjoy this one. Have a great Sunday and thanks for visiting my blog. Cheers, Rob.

    […] The holiday season is all but wrapped up, but you can  still take one more look at your national  Christmas Tree outside the  U.S. Capitol building here.  […]

    Gorgeous photo. I’ve got to get there before the tree comes down ~ I’m just across the bridge in VA so no excuses not to see it in person.

        The great thing about this photo is that it doesn’t show that.

        Somehow it just doesn’t seem right to have all those Holiday decorations around when there’s no snow, and people are running around in t-shirts.

          you know you make a great point Jeff. Yes, there were people in t shirts and shorts, knocking that out removes the time element, it could be 12 degrees when this photo was taken.
          Fantastic comment!

    How beautiful! I did not even contemplate a trip to D.C. in December due to the cold weather. But to see this tree would definitely be worth it. Nicely done!
