A few weeks ago we made it to the Cherry Blossom Festival and it was wonderful. We were only 2 days behind peak
It is almost magical and I don't mind the crowds during this time because it always makes me so happy to see so many enjoying the monuments, no matter what their motive is to come.
I was feeling sick on this day and looked horrible but wanted to figure out a way to take a photo of me and the blossoms. I loved how this turned out shooting into the sun! I will keep this one forever of my time in D.C.
I took this photo for David and Lenessa (my brother and Sister in law) On their first trip to the Jefferson Memorial they were the only ones there! The only ones. This photo will help them appreciate the beauty of that moment even more!

President Obama gets to see the blossoms from a beautiful view!!!

Totally unrelated I am trying my hand at something I have always wanted to learn how to do. Paint! Here is my first attempt at doing Sally Jane. I have a lot to learn but it is so fun!!!
