We have officially entered the Cherry Blossom Festival here in Washington, D.C. It was an event we missed last time we lived in DC. So, this has been very exciting to watch as the cherry blossoms and tourists have covered the city.
I am going to begin with a few images I made earlier this week that are somewhat counter intuitive. Although the trees are spectacular during the day, we decided to check them out at sunset and hang around for a full moon to rise.
The moonlight was quite bright and with a little help, we were able to see the pink blossoms as well.
Of course the monuments, just by themselves are still very beautiful.
We did make it out during the day too… it was just a couple days before peak bloom, so the trees aren’t quite at peak. However, here’s my muse looking statuesque…
The magnolia trees were the only ones in full bloom.
So, that covers this round of the Cherry Blossom Festival. I suspect I may end up posting a couple more posts. I hope you don’t mind. As always, please feel free to leave feedback!
Until the next adventure…
