I visited Washington a few years back. It’s got many fascinating attractions, but a highlight was the beautiful blooming cherry trees.

Love all these pictures. We have been to D.C. a few times,but never in the spring. Seeing this post reminds me that I need to plan a future trip in March or April sometime. Thanks for sharing these amazing photos.
