The Cherry Blossoms at UW are so often photographed, it's hard to find a unique shot. Nice to be there early morning before the crowds show up
A cherry blossom, also known as Japanese cherry or sakura, is a flower of many trees of genus Prunus or Prunus subg. Cerasus. They are common species in East Asia, including China, Korea and especially in Japan. They generally refer to ornamental cherry trees, not to be confused with cherry trees that produce fruit for eating. It is considered the national flower of Japan.
Many of the cherry trees currently enjoyed for cherry blossom viewing are not wild species but cultivar. Because cherry trees have a mutable trait, many cultivars have been created for cherry blossom viewing, especially in Japan.
In Europe, from the late 19th century to the early 20th century, Collingwood Ingram, an Englishman, collected and studied Japanese cherry blossoms, and created various ornamental cultivars, and the culture of cherry blossom viewing began to be spread. In the United States, cherry blossom viewing began to spread after Japan presented cherry blossoms as a token of friendship in 1912. Cherry blossoms have been described to have a beautiful smell and have been the inspiration for many candles and incense for household use. Many wild species and cultivars bloom from March to April in the Northern Hemisphere.

Yellow cherries being sold at the Rochester, New York farmer's market. I've actually taken quite a few photos of produce but never post them for some odd reason.

Well, my second trip to D.C. in a week and the weather has yet to clear. I was watching the weather all week and today was supposed to be partly cloudy. Until 4am this morning. When I checked again before I hit the road, it said cloudy all day. I pushed ahead thinking it might clear but no dice.
The cherry blossoms are very cool. Like popcorn trees. They would have looked really good with a little light and a blue sky. Oh well, I don't have plans for Saturday and it's supposed to be clear all day.
I went to the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History too. Me and about 10,000 2nd graders. Very cool stuff in there. They have the Hope Diamond on display.
Chin to knee on the orchard wall, cooled with dew and cherries eating.
Merry, merry, take a cherry, mine are sounder, mine are rounder,
Mine are sweeter for the eater, when the dews fall, and you'll be fairies all.

Hope you all have a great week ahead.
