Time for the cherry blossoms!

I left work early yesterday and went down to the Tidal Basin to view the cherry blossoms. Luckily, because it was a weekday, there weren't half as many people as on a weekend. Unfortunately, it was another gloomy day just like last year when I went. Man, I can't catch a break! All I want is a picture of pink cherry blossoms with a blue sky and blue water....is that too much to ask?! Anywho, here are some of my favorite pics:
I know this will sound totally cheesy, but it felt like walking through an enchanted forest. It was so peaceful and beautiful.
I've discovered that I like taking pictures of people who are unaware of my presence. It adds such an interesting element to my photos.

I took some pictures at the Jefferson Memorial....

And I saw a two-legged dog that walks upright!!!! (Coincidentally, the Post did a story about her today.)


TJ is such a rock star.


In these pictures, I liked including people to show the impressive size of the columns.

I also visited the FDR Memorial...
And finally, I stopped by the tulip garden on my way out, but only some of the tulips were in bloom.

Oh, and one more thing: Marine One flew by a couple times. That's always exciting.

There are many more pictures, so please check out the rest of them here.
