Blossoms



Cherry Blossom time again in Washington! To avoid the crowds at the festival this weekend, I did a little jog around the Tidal Basin this morning before work. Even at 6:30am on a Friday there were still tourists and photographers if that's any indication on what it will be like this weekend. Also, a VVIP was on a morning run down there so that added to the foot and vehicle traffic a bit :)

The Cherry Blossoms are going to be wayyyyy better this year than last year. Last year they started to bloom and then an ice storm hit totally ruining them. This year though, they are absolutely lovely. This morning they looked to be about 50% open and with the 73 degree temperature today I bet they will be at their peak by Sunday. SO pretty!
