I didn't get a chance to visit the Tidal Basin in D.C. this year, but with the cherry blossoms lining our street, I didn't have to. For about a week, they were bloomed in their full pink-and-white glory, and I took a walk one day to snap some of them. There was a bit of a breeze that day, which made the proper focus hard to achieve, but I still managed to get plenty of shots. It's a good thing, too; the cherry blossom trees have already changed from pink to green.
