One of the things I’ve long wanted to do was to stroll the Mall in Washington, DC, while experiencing the splendor and beauty of many of its 2,000 cherry trees in full bloom as we walked along the Potomac River among some of our nation’s greatest monuments. My Beloved, our son Brian and his family, and I, were able to do that for the first time during a recent trip. The day was cool, mostly cloudy, and with an occasional biting breeze. The photos above are darker and grayer than I would prefer, and don’t do the scenes justice, but I wanted to give to you at least a hint of the awe-inspiring, glorious scenes we experienced.
With Love,
Russ

these are amazingly beautiful and your post reminds me that it has been far too long since i’ve been there –
Thank you Beth. May you soon experience them again.
I’m so jealous! LOL. As many times a year as I am in that area, I have never been there for the cherry blossoms. Thank you for giving me at least the virtual experience. 😀
It’s my pleasure, Mrs. P. I’m glad you enjoyed them. May you soon experience the real thing for yourself.
…and they are so full of blossoms. Really beautiful!
I’m glad you enjoyed the the images, Ute. Thank you for your kind comment.
