Cherry Blossoms!

The Cherry Blossoms are starting to bloom in DC. This is very exciting, and a little earlier than years past. The Cherry Blossom Festival (which occurs every year and is a big tourist attraction), is scheduled for March 26 - April 10 and there may not be many blossoms left by then! There are trees in full bloom around the Capitol and I saw trees along the Potomac a couple days ago that were just about to pop into bloom. So, it looks like we're coming up on peak blooming. There is more rain in the forecast, which apparently speeds up the blooming process. I plan to take as many pictures as possible and post some here, stay tuned!
