Cherry Blossoms 2009


Friday, before we rushed north, we walked the perimeter of the Tidal Basin ogling the cherry blossoms and hoping the rain, which poured down hard all morning, would hold out a few more hours.

It was a beautiful afternoon, with petals floating like snow and tourists happily mingling amidst the trees and pausing with reverence at the memorials.
