Cherry Blossoms

Up early this morning to see the Cherry Blossoms in full bloom at the Tidal Basin, in Washington, D.C. With the Washington Monument in the background.

I took the image below a bit later, after the sun was up.  It’s looking at the Jefferson Memorial through the blossoms. It’s a 45-second exposure, which gives the water a smooth look — and adds a bit of blur to the blossoms.

It certainly was a beautiful morning to enjoy a Washington D.C. spring tradition. Thank you for taking  a look.
