Time for Spring I Say!

 

DC is in full bloom, and the tourists are flocking to the tidal basin to see lovely pink cherry blossoms. Unfortunately, the trees reached the height of bloom about two weeks ago, so most of the petals have blown into the tidal basin. But! Luckily for you, Andrew and I took lovely pictures last week of some of the last remaining blossoms. For your viewing pleasure:

Extreme closeup! Waaaaaahhhhhh!!

Tulips in the floral library between Washington Monument and Tidal Basin - the springtime gnomes worked hard for these colors

But of course we can talk, my dear. If there's anyone around worth talking to... or about.
