Cherry Blossom Festival Pics I

Here are the first batch of the promised pics from this past Cherry Blossom Festival. It was actually early April, and not early March as I previously posted.

The Capitol on a gorgeous spring day.


View of the Mall. The Smithsonian in the background.


The sun breaks thru the clouds over the Smithsonian.


The Washington monument.


People enjoying the day under the cherry trees.


Walking towards the Basin along the Washington monument.


I noticed the kids of this Indian family climbing on this tree. They were huddling together to take a picture. I love seeing moments like these--people being happy.


I love this shot. The Washington monument peeking thru the foliage of the cherry trees.


More pictures coming tommorrow.
