Re: Cherry Blossoms in Washington, DC
Beautiful piece! This time of year is bittersweet to me because we went to visit my son in Japan two years ago for the cherry blossoms. We were supposed to be there this year too but Covid restrictions linger on. So later in the year we will go. Thanks for letting us see the cherry blossoms from your great photos!
