These are a beautiful series of pics! Definitely Spring is in the air! Thank you for stopping by, and yes the wreath is from a historic house and was made sometime in the late 19th c. I find it kinda creepy. Happy WW
LOVE. I was in D.C. during cherry blossom time about 6 years ago, but didn’t have a good camera at the time. I would love to go back now that I have a bit more skill. You have captured the beauty so well!
Oh I’m so jealous. I grew up in Delaware and have family in the DC area in MD. I miss those cherry blossoms! I miss the east coast, but love my TX home.
geez, the blossoms almost look like SNOW! we had enough of that this winter, though. gorgeous photos, meg. i ventured down to dc once for the blossoms–i was a surly pre-teen and didn’t really appreciate them.
Yes, Steph! Well, it was last Friday — we’ve had lots of wind and rain since then, so I’m not sure if they’re quite as blossom-y. But there’s a webcam to check out!
Thank you all so much for your kind words! We went downtown last Friday, April 1, and it was about 40 degrees and rainy — but we managed to get some shots before freezing to death along the Tidal Basin. The bad weather kept many tourists from venturing out, so that helped me get non-people shots. If you’re ever in D.C. around this time of year, don’t miss the blossoms!
Lovely shots. I love the cherry blossoms and I was so happy that I got a chance to see them when I was down in DC the weekend of April 1st, the last time I saw them I was a kid. The weather may have sucked but it was still worth it.

Beautiful! I especially like that final picture.
Wow!! Great shots!! That last one is a knock out…really beautiful
I’ve never been up there during this time, but I bet the smell is just pure heaven.
So gorgeous! Thanks for sharing these.
Great shots, the cherry blossoms are stunning!
Gorgeous! I love the cherry blossoms. Way to not have a bunch of people in your shots, I don’t know how you managed that!
Gorgeous! I wish we had cherry blossoms here. Spring seems to be stubbornly resistant these days.
O.m.g. SO BEAUTIFUL! I’m 100% jealous.
So beautiful! I can’t believe it’s cherry blossom time already!!!
They are just beautiful!
Gorgeous…something that I’ve got to see some day (adding it to my bucket list).

Stunning shots.
There are two things that I still remember from my trip to DC in 8th grade, the cherry blossoms and shoo-fly pie:)
Love the pictures….fantastic!
Beautiful! I especially love the first pic.
Gorgeous — just stunning. Thank you for sharing!
My bottom lip just hit the ground, those are some fantabulous pictures. Yowza. I can almost smell the flowers.

I long to see DC in the spring.
So beautiful!

Is this… right now?? In DC?? If so, I want so badly to take a spontaneous trip down there… *sighhh*

Fantabulous!

Wow…these photos are just stunning. All my DC friends keep posting pictures of the beautiful blossoms…jealous!
I have Cherry Blossoms as my wallpaper and on my Google page. Boy, am I missing them in real life. Beautiful pictures. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, simply gorgeous!
These pictures are gorgeous! They have my sinuses quivering but gorgeous none-the-less.
