Washington D.C. - Monuments and Cherry Blossoms
 

I had a day trip to D.C. yesterday. After a cold and windy start, it got to be a great day to enjoy the Cherry Blossom Festival, Parade, and Japanese Festival.

Nice pics. I love the cherry blossoms around the Mall and Tidal Basin but the throngs of tourists are just too much for me. I took a spin around the neighborhoods of upper-northwest DC yesterday though..there are tons of cherry trees scattered around if you know where to look...and no crowds :)

very impressive and very clean considering

DC looks very European.

Every year i say that Im going to the cherry blossom bloom in DC and every year i forget. damn it. great pics though

Nice to see some photos from the festival! Looks like it was a decent day to be out & about, despite somewhat windy conditions. And today looks even better. Wish I was there rather right now than here where it's been a struggle to get much above 40.

Great pics! Those cherry blossoms are simply beautiful. :tup:

Nice pictures and blossoms. Love the architecture in DC. Thanks for the tour!

DC never gets old. Thanks for sharing.

Hey! I was there yesterday too!

Great shots and it was a very beautiful day yesterday.

Can't get enough of DC (hopefully my future home). Looks like it was a nice day out, but a bit chilly. Great shots!

Darn tourists. :sly:


Nice pics. :)

did you catch Jero's performance?

What a great city!
