- Comparing February 12 to March 27 this year. @capitalweather
- I took this photo at 3:19 pm today. The sun was eclipsed about 89% and the clouds helped filter the sunlight to allow for a photo without a solar filter. @capitalweather
- Replying to @dcstormchaserAfter the Derecho moved east, I captured this photo from the Jefferson Memorial.
- Sunrise this morning at the Tidal Basin. @capitalweather
- Pancake ice swirling on the Potomac River near Great Falls this morning. These circular slabs of ice formed in eddies below the falls and have raised edges from collisions with one another. They resemble lily pads. @capitalweather

- Fall color this morning at the Tidal Basin. @capitalweather
- Stumpy's last bloom. I took this photo at high tide this afternoon. @capitalweather
- Stumpy on Jan. 16, 2024, and March 16, 2024. Sadly, I won't get a summer or fall photo of Stumpy this year.
