The Kennedy Center is a living memorial to a fallen president and named for President Kennedy by federal law. It can no sooner be renamed than can someone rename the Lincoln Memorial, no matter what anyone says.

Shadows and light in the moonlight.

A photo that fools the eye. (see alt text)

This photo was taken Nov 5, 2025 to capture the full moon... It was taken inside of a home looking towards the neighboring house. The result is a reflection from the house where the photo was taken onto the home next door. So, the arched doorway is a reflection, though it looks like it is in the house we see. Shadows of trees form around the facade and there is moonlight above.

Outside a yard in the neighborhood. An antique bike with a basket on the front filled with soft snow. The bike is standing in front of a tree (only trunk is visible). A large orange pumpkin is in front of the bike with a cap of white snow. There's snow on the the bike's seat and there is a blanketing of pure white snow on the ground. In the background is a light blue Victorian house..
