A gallery opening of photographer Renée C. Gage’s exhibit, “Washington’s Captivating Spirit,” at the Virginia Florist in Hollin Hill Village was held June 26. The exhibit will run through July 26. From left are Laura Niswander of Virginia Florist, Gage, and Virginia Florist owners Kevin and Kathy Green. A wine tasting was provided by UnWined. Gage writes: “‘Washington’s Captivating Spirit’ showcases the love I have developed for our home in Alexandria, the city of Washington D.C. and Mount Vernon Estate. These images reinforce what I have always known — the love of a place, person or thing comes from the ways we embrace, enjoy and encapsulate the many and varied moments in time we share with them.” Visit www.rcgphotography.com.
