Cherry Blossoms & The Washington Monument

I really like this picture of the Cherry blossoms and the Washington monument. I could not seem to get a shot off that didn't include people--but I still like the picture.

Baby Cherry Trees

These are the future Cherry trees to be planted around the tidal basin. Someday their glory will be like their larger counter parts in the background!! Big and beautiful!!

Sunrise

Last Week when I went to take pictures of the Cherry blossoms this is what I got. The sun rising over the Jefferson memorial in front of the tidal basin. Sometimes luck plays a part in what you capture and this was one of those moments.

FDR Memorial--Bread Line

This is another image from the FDR memorial. These bronze statues represent the Great Depression in the United States right before and leading into WWII. If it had not been for WWII who knows how long the depression would have lasted here in the U.S. Of course when I look at this image it can be hard to feel the loss and pain when the cherry blossoms look so beautiful in the background!!!

Cherry Blossoms No. 1

Every year in Washington D.C. the Cheery blossoms come out and of course so do the tourists. This picture was taken at the tidal basin with the Jefferson memorial in the background. I also took this shot to show how many people were out taking pictures and this does not even represent it very accurately. If you include me there are 6 people taking pictures from this one spot. I hope to get some closer pictures of the Cherry blossoms today. When I took this picture they were not at their peek yet. We shall see!!!
