Each spring, the cherry blossoms burst into color at the Washington DC’s Tidal Basin. But the peak bloom period lasts only a few days, and precisely when it happens varies each year. This year we had late peak bloom around April 10th.
Dave and I arrived at the Tidal Basin early in the morning to beat the crowd and catch the sunrise. We had no luck with the sunrise because of the clouds, but we did beat most of the crowd.
After enjoying the cherry blossoms at the Tidal Basin, we moved towards the Washington Monument to see more cherry blossoms there. I am glad that we came earlier, because it was getting very crowded by 10 A.M. Here are some pictures of the gorgeous cherry blossoms from this morning.
