Cherry Blossoms in DC
With COVID-19 ravaging the world, cherry blossom viewing season has been cancelled in all the big hotspots this year. That made me realize I had not posted my DC cherry blossom photos taken 2 years ago to this day. It was a fairly last-minute trip and blue skies played a big role in me taking the long bus ride down from Canada just for the weekend. The bloom was just as good as Japan, although Americans don't typically camp out and have a drink under the cherry trees like the Japanese. This made navigating through the waterfront a bit easier.

In 1912, Tokyo gifted 3000 cherry trees to Washington DC to celebrate the friendship between the 2 countries. Around late March and early April, the Tidal Basin is awash in pink, and access is all free.
