Yesterday was a beautiful, warm spring day. We, along with hundreds of thousands of other people, decided it was the perfect day to take a look at Washington DC's famous cherry blossoms. There are beautiful cherry trees in full bloom scattered all around our area, but there is just something very special about these trees. In spite of the throngs of people, the traffic and the noise, these trees were breath-taking. The sunshine, the monuments and the cherry blossoms combined to make a perfect day. It was wonderful to be part of an enormous Washington crowd who were there just to bask in the beauty of the moment.

My co-worker traveled there this weekend to see the blossoms too. Looks like an awesome time.
Beautiful! Someday I'd like to see that. I was just excited to see the maples budding today.
Sigh... I miss the cherry blossoms.
Thank you for the photos.. for both their beauty and the memories.

Great photos - I especially loved the one of the Jefferson Memorial.
Happy spring!
Our lilacs are just starting to bud. What a wonderful sight for you to see all those beautiful cherry blossoms. I envy you!!
Our Spring will come soon though and I also can enjoy the smell of Spring.
I am going to start planting my garden veggie seeds indoor today so that is a plus for me living here in the Pacific Northwest.
It snowed here yesterday LOL
