I was just about to say: You live in Tokyo and you chase the cherry blossom all the way to D.C.?
Our cherry blossom festival in Hamburg is in May, so we still need a few more warm days to catch up.
Are there any cherry blossoms in bloom now? What about the Friday or Saturday before the festival starts 3/25/11.
I just found this blog post and I sluohd say to you thank you so much for providing this one to us.
I was just up in D.C. Tuesday and there were already blooms it should be great this weekend
I work about 10 minutes from the Tidal Basin in DC. Yes, the cherry blossoms are here, but I fear they will freeze tonight! It’s unseasonably old here, supposed to snow later today.
I really like your picture of the Jefferson Memorial.
We are here at the festival now and have taken some good shots this year.
Hopefully the blooms will hold on a little while longer with the wind this year.
Thank you Japan. An exquisite gift. Almost 100 years now. Bless you all.lovely photos. Thank you for sharing. I’m in the other Washington. We can’t get these trees here!!
