A.C.H. Photos
Full Bloom
Once a year, as many may be familiar, the Cherry Blossoms in DC bloom in full, providing for amazing scenes across the nation's capital. On a blustery and cold spring morning, CSX Q409 rolls south over the tidal basin, crossing onto the long bridge into Virginia. As this scene is available once a year, and sometimes only for a few days, you take what you can get for weather. But the trees this year were much fuller, allowing for a full framing with the blossoms which was nice. I'll take matte grey skies over the puffy clouds and intermittent sun that rolled in not longer after this photo was taken. As many of us know all too well, those shadow clouds have a fun tendency to cause heartburn as your train gets closer. Here's to hoping we'll get some sunnier skies in April, but when you have a scene for only a few days, it's nice to take advantage no matter the weather.
