Cherry Blossoms - Washington DC; April 2010

During our recent visit to Washington DC, we had the opportunity to see the cherry blossom trees in full bloom.  Now after the harsh winter that DC experienced with over 2 feet of snow on the ground and winter storm after winter storm in the beginning of the year, Melissa and I were beginning to grow concern whether the trees were still going to bloom or not; let alone still be alive.  In the end, mother nature decided to cooperate and the weather greatly improved and a few rain showers aside, the sunshine arrived and the cherry blossoms bloomed and were showing their full beauty just in time before we arrived.  During our visit, the National Cherry Blossom Festival was in full swing and we were able to experience much of the excitement and beauty of all the trees around the Tidal Basin and Thomas Jefferson Memorial, as well as the National Mall.

Here are a few pictures of various cherry blossom trees from our visit.
