Blossoms
In Washington, D.C. for a few days on business. Luckily enough, my trip coincided with a certain seasonal festival they celebrate down here. Guess which one.

Very nice pictures!

Beautiful photos as always. Blossoms in spring are always inspiring, glad you took time to capture them.
Beautiful.
I used to live on a horse ranch where we had these trees bloom in the corral. Apple blossoms?
I love the blossom pictures, especially the next to last one with the spire in the background!

Beautiful pictures, nice Blog, this reminds me of the year I was in Chantilly, near Washington DC for the last snow for two months and got to see the first blossoms. The smells and sights are marvelous around there this time of year.

Alas, I am at the end of your blog! I found you on Blogs Of Note and started at the very beginning after reading a few current posts. I have really enjoyed myself each morning beginning my day with coffee and your blog. So relaxing. Some of the best time I have spent at work! Your blog is outstanding, so is your family and pictures. Thank you so much for posting and sharing your life!
Your pictures are breathtaking! I am new here so this was the perfect blog to visit!
wow those are gorgeous. I enjoy this blog. While I may not personally have that sentiment on life and the world quite yet, I am working on it and it makes me happy that there are those that do.
Thanks! Great blog!
I used to live in MD and all along the street these were planted. It was like pink snow had fallen. One year both kinds bloomed at once all dark and light pink. :)
Congratz on the "BON", I am one too, welcome to the big family :)
Very beautiful pics, reminded me of a couple of similar pictures I had taken near the Potomac, during my only visit to D.C. in '04
Do post more..
I just posted an entry on my blog about our trip to the festival, so to see this on your site, where I wouldn't expect it, was a joy this morning.
Nice pics.Its always a good experience watching flowers bloom.
These are wonderful pics and give this Canadian hope that we will not be snow bound forever. Thank you!
Will mention these in my blog please stop by.

are you a photographer? like pro?

:)
awesome !!!
These are great pictures, really shows the beauty of the flowers.
My cousin lives in Maryland and she recently attented the festival. She said it was beautiful. Thank you for sharing the pictures and matching her words to the wonder.
Send some cherry blossom wishes our way would you? We are in Alaska and the snow is still melting while releasing piles of trash flown from people/vehicles/trash cans throughout the winter.... enough on the complaining.. our summers are spectacular - with almost 24 hours of sunlight how could they not be? Thank you for the beautiful images and sweet stories. (By the way my husband despises Apple as he is a computer tech. I almost feel like I am cheating on him reading your blog with the little tidbits about how wonderful Apple products are!)
Such an ispiration to any painter or photographer. Love your blog.
Great Post!! very refreshing,
uplifting, and overall positive
vibe. Keep it up!
congrats!
it feels good to be noticed... praised... awarded!
great job!
you capture really great moments!
Love you site; puposeful, well composed. as I said before I love DC. Thanks again
So pretty! Cherry blossoms are blooming and raining from the trees here, too!
I randomly stumbled upon your blog today and just loved the blossom photos. Every time I see one I feel excited about spring and excited about my life. Thank you for lifting my mood today.
Beautiful eye candy on your blog!! You take wonderful photos! I saw you on the list of blogs and I just love your title, reading further, I love your blog! I was wondering if you would mind sharing what type of camera you use? and lens you favor? Thank you!
Found you on blogs of note and fell off my chair when I saw your graph of blog traffic...power of the web!
I wish I had something more elaborate to report, some slick new SLR with a primo lens, but the photos on this blog were taken with a Canon PowerShot SD750, one of the cameras in their Digital ELPH series. It's very small and portable, which is important because if it weren't I wouldn't have it with me very often and would not have taken many of these shots.
Beautiful pictures, I'm in love with D.C., it's my second home. I hope your trip was fun, despite it being for business!
I lived in Alexandria, Va with my brother in the summer 82 & 83. Every weekend I rode my bike into DC. It was quite and experience for a country boy who never left his home state of Michigan, except for the few times I traveled south to go to Canada to visit my other brother who lived in Winsor, Ont.
very beautiful cherry blossoms!
Lots of 'em here in Japan. Love 'em a lot that I'm actually going to experience hanami twice this year :)
gorgeous pictures! =D i thought they were sakura.
that looks gorgeous!
It's nice to see those lovely blooms. For us living in countries where there is no spring and no cherry blossoms, all we could do is appreciate these things through pictures.
Cherry blossom photos, my hubby has promised to take me to see them in Tokyo, but I guess no luck:(
Interesting site with great photos :-)
Nice Pictures!!!! wow i'm going to make similar!!!!
Yes I must admit I too noticed your blossoms. Here in Portugal we have a very similar landscape at the moment, when the wind blow it almost looks like snow, especially the almond blossom.
Luv the scenery!
Hey those pictures from D.C. are beautiful! And just by reading some of your blogs i am guessing that you have kids and a family but I am just saying hi!
Really nice pics! I'm a reader of you blog from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil! I love it! K&H from down here...
i love it! i found this post through another blog found off another etc. i was down in dc 2 weekends ago, just a little too soon for the full blossoms, but i still got good pics of the buds. anyways, just wanted to let you know that i love these blossoms too!
oh - thanks so much for sharing the cherry blossoms! We are waiting patiently for anything to bloom around here......in time, in time!!
Karla & Karrie
These are beautiful. We had such lovely blossom in Paris too, and then the snow came again! Marianne
