The blossoms on the 300 plus Yoshino Cherry trees are the magnet for nearly a million tourists to flock to DC and the Tidal Basin area. The white and pink blossoms form a perfect frame for the landmarks of the Capitol City.With careful framing, the setting of a tripod, a gentle rack of focus, the setting of the shutter and a bit of patience for just the right moment; thousands of photographers

The last remnants of Alexandria, Virginia's original TC Williams High School remain standing despite a close encounter with an almost tornado force political whirlwind.The Barack Obama bandwagon paid an ironic visit to the new TC Williams High School (just East of the old school) with thousands of supporters and hundreds of press in tow. And unlike like many of the quick ins-and-outs of the

More from Punxy, Pa.Perhaps no town in America is more closely identified with an animal or bird than Punxsutawney, Pa. Hinkley Ohio has their Buzzards (Mar. 23) and San Juan Capistrano has the Swans (Oct.23) but they pale in comparison. Have you ever heard a reliable weather forecast from a bird?I thought I would share a few additional images from the festivities. In addition to the 30,000 in

On the Scene NOW is live at beautiful Gobblers Knob just South of Punxsutawney Pennsylvania where a Saturday morning crowd estimated at nearly 30,000 persons and one illustrious Groundhog gathered for a most important prognostication of weather.Forget those complicated "numerical computer models" that your local forecaster so deftly mentions on the evening news.

Like crab cakes, the Preakness, the Bay Bridge Walk, and Thrashers French Fries the annual Polar Bear Plunge brought thousands to Sandy Point Park. The Maryland State Police sponsored event benefits Maryland Special Olympics.The total raised this year will exceed 2Million dollars.And quite an event it is.

The cold clear days of Winter offer a great opportunity to to photograph our Nations Capitol at its' best. Rising 288 feet above the ground. The Statue of Freedom seems to be eying a much higher object. But then again, haven't Americans already reached that point?

Back from coverage of the tragic death of Sean Taylor. And back from (what I believe to be) a well earned vacation. (Also in S. Fla.)What relevance does the above have to do with our blog title?First, we were assisted in our Sean Taylor homicide coverage in Miami by CBS owned station WFOR.

Your "On The Scene Now" blog headed North to State College, Pa. to bring you the "3 F's of Fall."Foliage, Football and Fun in case you cared. Plenty of leaves ablaze just outside Beaver Stadium. The home of the Penn State Nittany Lions. Their Saturday opponent, the Boilermakers of Purdue.So, why would a Washington DC. based blog present material from a Big Ten school several hours away?Simple.

Your trusty "On the Scene Now" blog has been faithfully watching the changing colors of Fall. Finally, after months of drought and days of rain. Nature is rewarding us with COLOR.Elevations above 2,500 feet in the Shenandoah National Park were ablaze this weekend. A bright sun and deep blue sky enhanced a great afternoon along Skyline Drive.Click HERE for video.

Ever notice how the world around us has changed? Of course. But once in a while lots of changes seem to intersect at one location. For me that time was Friday morning. The location, a MacDonald's in the Bailey's Crossroads section of Fairfax County.A quick bite for lunch and on to another assignment is the norm for a photojournalist. (and the reward for a college education for a budding

What a miserable evening for High School Football. Friday was a night where the lights were almost dimmed by the constant rain. Being "On the Scene" was not pleasureable. Making video in the rain and muck is tough duty. But I must give credit to the PA operators at Fairfax County's Thomas Jefferson High School. After the TJ marching band concluded their rain drenched halftime performance (a good

The home team may be a thousand miles away but you wouldn't know it in the Metro DC area. Our city and suburbs are home to more University and College alumni associations and clubs than anywhere in America except NYC. Four of the ten largest public universities in the USA say their largest out-of-state alumni chapter is based right here in DC. It all leads to a great diversity of sports fans.

More and more riders have taken to the road on low powered motorbikes. In addition to being eco-friendly, these bikes enjoy a bit of anonymity.In some cases the fact that they have no identifying sign such as a license plate, makes it difficult for police and the public to get a good description when they see a rider violating laws.Photojournalist Greg Guise looks at one such case in this week's
