About 10 years ago, I got an assignment from Reston magazine to make a portrait of the town’s founder, Robert E. Simon, near this bridge. The trees were at peak flower, as they are in this photograph, but Simon’s schedule was too busy. He penciled me in for the following week, but not before…. a storm blew all the petals off the trees. We did the shoot anyway.
The sun was obscured by clouds this morning, so the light didn’t quite happen. I’ll be back.
