DC National Cathedral

Some things just call out to be photographed, and the Washington National Cathedral is one of them. Along with the majestic beauty of the Cathedral itself, the blooming cherry trees and blue sky only add to it's grandeur. But along with the interior and exterior of the Cathedral, there is more to see. The National Greenhouse behind the Cathedral is worth a visit. Specializing in herbs, the Cathedral Greenhouse offers a wide and unique selection of flowers including annuals, perennials, topiaries and foliage plants, as well as pottery, statuary and gift items reflective of the Cathedral and its grounds. A series of red and clear glass hearts caught the eye and will add interest to various sills and vases throughout Arlington and Chicagoland.


The Cathedral Herb Cottage , located next to the Cathedral, also offers several interesting items from cards and posters to liquid soap to "wash away your sins," as well as "Holy Smokes" and "Bishop's BBQ" to aid with outdoor cooking. A sunny day, blue sky and Blogger Boy made this visit picture perfect.
