Cherry Blossoms at the Tidal Basin

The cherry blossoms are always spectacular. The photo above was early morning and the sun was just rising and the light was just like butter against the side of the Tidal Basin in Washington, DC.

 

The Japanese cherry trees were a gift from the mayor of Tokyo City to the City of Washington DC in 1912. So, thank you Japan for the years of beautiful blossoms! We really enjoy them every April when they bloom and have the National Cherry Blossom Festival to celebrate them.
