Whenever I want to explore DC/Whenever I don’t have class, it’s always cold and rainy (example: today). I think it’s bad luck…
A few days ago, I made the decision to visit the Cherry Blossom Festival on Thursday… so, when I woke up this morning, I put on several layers of clothes, grabbed my umbrella and headed for the Tidal Basin for a photo adventure full of cherry blossoms.
Normally, my DC photo adventures consist of me taking about 15 random pictures of stupid things like dying flowers or street signs, but today I ended up with over 90 pictures of a couple of monuments and cherry blossoms (and my extra trip to the Pentagon City mall). If it hadn’t been cloudy and cold all day, the pictures would’ve looked better. These are my favorites:
Cherry Blossoms!
Cherry blossoms over the tidal basin.
This picture would’ve been prettier with blue skies.
The Washington Monument. This also would’ve looked better with blue skies.
Thanks for the education, TJ!
I hate tourists. These stupid high schoolers were blocking my view of the awesome old guys playing awesome music.
I was in desperate need of a spring jacket. Thanks to the Gap, I now own a yellow jacket (I had 2 in the picture because I couldn’t decide on which size to get). I’m naturally drawn to bright colors for some reason…
I know an almost potential Abercrombie & Fitch model. He turned them down. I like to make fun of him. This picture could’ve been of him… but it’s of some other (kinda creepy and half naked) dude.

Those are some great photos! The sakura over the rivers was wonderful! I spent the summer in Japan and got some good shots, but unfortunately none of the cherry blossoms were in bloom.
