Cherry Blossoms
What began as a routine errands trip turned into a little tourism jaunt to the tidal basin to take this year’s requisite cherry blossom photos. They’re not in full bloom yet, but they’re on their way. More enjoyable was the annual kite festival that kicks off the two week National Cherry Blossom Festival each year. The air around the Washington Monument was filled with hundreds of kites trying to avoid or fight each other.
I feel like it’s required of any amateur photographer to spend at least three hours getting the “perfect” photo of these Sakura blossoms at every angle imaginable. Not one to miss out on the fun, I took a fair shot (even though they look a little sad in this snap). Take a look.
