A Little Duck before the Concert?

A Little Duck before the Concert?

A lovely spring evening on the promenade of the John F. Kennedy
Center for the Performing Arts, along the Potomac in Washington…

This plump little gal was taking in the sunset over the Potomac (and the passage overhead
of large twin-engine metal birds on final approach to Reagan National Airport) with the rest of us.

Ah, but truth to tell, I think she missed the dancing waters and broad pool of the fountain
on whose marble rim she stood sentry, patiently awaiting the restoration of…water!

The sunset silhouetting the buildings of Rosslyn, across the river in Virginia, is reflected in the glass.

Oh, the question mark? Just kidding…

P.S. - Thank you dear Sabine, for pointing out my gender mistake in original caption - I wanted so much to call her/him Erich Wolfgang, in honor of E.W.Korngold whose Violin Concerto I was there to hear, that I overlooked the obvious!

Little "Erica" was apparently unimpressed by the raspberry candy,
but I did like the serendipitous color match with the woman's handbag ;-)
