Photo Friday: “Health is” – a few images from Washington, DC

 

Health is… ‘2011 St. Patrick’s Day Parade DC’ on Flickr.com

My queue of DC photographs has built up a little, so here are my favorites from the last month.

I am drawn to photographing images of things that enable or show people (including me) achieving their life goals through optimal personal, individual, and community health. Click to enlarge. Descriptions below.

• Images 1-4 : From set: Washington, DC, St. Patrick’s Day Parade, March 13, 2011. Theme: A Hertiage of Education and Community Service
• Image 5: From set: 2011 Spring, Washington DC
• Images 6-7 : From set:  Milo, DC Dog ; At the S-Street Dog Park, where my favorite dog likes to run
• Image 8: From set : 2011 Kaiser Permanente Center for Total Health : Right before my StoryCorps ( @storycorps ) interview of @ReginaHolliday

What’s the “Health is…” of your community?
