Cherry Blossom Special
We just arrived back home after spending six fantabulous days in Washington, D.C. ! We were there at the beginning of the Cherry Blossom Festival which was an event I have always wanted to attend. Over three thousand cherry trees surround the Tidal Basin area. The trees were given to the U.S.A. in 1912 from the city of Tokyo to celebrate the friendship between Japan and the United States. In 1915, the United States gave Japan flowering dogwood trees as a gift. The trees weren't quite at peak when we were there but it didn't matter. They were beautiful and I truly appreciated being able to soak up all of this beauty. Enjoy.

Welcome back.
Fantastic photos. I have to put the cherry blossom festival on my bucket list. D.C. is a fun place to visit any time of the year.
So beautiful, aren't they ? David and I made the trip through DC to Virginia two years ago right in prime blossoming time - magical !
Love me a dogwood too - beautiful in every season.
Enjoy the spring flings !

Beautiful pictures. I LOVE cherry blossom. Have a wonderful, happy Easter. x
we just went there on Monday - didn't realize you were coming this way. I guess I haven't been around the blogosphere too much because of the spring break.
These are really gorgeous. Nothing like DC this time of year. Happy weekend, my friend.
