These photos were taken in Washington DC, two years ago this weekend at the peak of the cherry blossom season. We were staying close to the White House, so I could get up and run out in the cold for a sunrise or spend all afternoon around the basin. I was able to get tickets to go up in the Washington Monument, so I had a great time with my camera. This shot of the capitol building was taken from the Washington Monument.
The Jefferson Memorial is such a beautiful monument. The first two times I visited Washington DC, they were working on Jefferson, so I was happy to see it all finished.
It is hard to capture how beautiful the trees are as they reach out over the tidal basin. I think this photo shows it a little. It only looked like this for about three days and then a storm came in and the ground looked like that was a pale pink snow covering it.

Wow! What beautiful photos! TFS! I've only been to Washington once, but it wasn't during the Cherry Blossom Season. I would love to be there this time of year!
