Cherry Blossom

Washington is famous for its Cherry Blossom trees. They were a gift from Japan 99 years ago and every spring they attract huge crowds for the couple of weeks that they are in bloom. Last year I missed them because I was back in the UK so this year I was determined to get down there and take some photos.

We met up with some friends early this morning and had a walk around the tidal basin which is lined with the blossom trees. Peak blooming period is later this week but today was still pretty impressive.
