Tidal Basin Perfection


Views at the Tidal Basin today

Eila and Mommy under the Weeping Higan Cherry


Taking in the Tidal Basin




Deep breath of cherry blossom


Well they say it is 1 day pre-peak at the tidal basin...seems like the big secret best time to go down to see the show in my opinion. Very few people, a slight breeze, blue skies, sunshine, and hundreds and thousands and millions and trillions of trees all in perfect bloom. Eila and I had a great morning and we went to our favorite secret garden behind the welcoming center at the Smithsonian and visited the most fantastic of all trees...the Weeping Higan Cherry in the Moongate garden. We did some serious taking it all in today. How refreshing- I LOVE SPRING!!!!
