It was Saturday around 8:30 a.m., and I was walking east on L Street from Farragut North. It was sunlight reflected from a building across the street — 1441 L St. NW — which, not long ago, got a new facade. ADAs I walked farther on, I saw that a building at Vermont and L was also getting the color treatment. Or is it the sun’s reflection being bounced from building to building like a billiard ball made of photons? They weren’t special trees, not like the massive 140-year-old ginkgo tree mistakenly cut down in Farragut Square in 2013.
