Cherry Blossoms

On April 2 and 3, I went down to the Tidal Basin to see the Cherry Blossoms. There were a lot of people in Washington, D.C. for the Cherry Blossom Festival. April 2 was a cloudy, windy and sort of rainy day. I did get a few pictures of Cherry Blossoms before I went back to the International Guest House to work. April 3 was my day off and I walked around the Tidal Basin with Phyllis (a former volunteer at the IGH). The Tidal Basin has Cherry Trees planted all around it. The weather was beautiful. In the morning it was raining and then the sun came out. It was sunny most of the time and then got somewhat cloudy, but it didn't rain again. The pictures below are a combination of the ones I took April 2 and 3.

I hope you enjoyed looking at the pictures I took of the Cherry Trees. The Cherry Trees were very beautiful.  Have a Happy Easter!!

Wow! These are beautiful pictures! You should update again. :) When does your contract finish? And what are you doing next? No pressure--just curious.
