My parents were visiting last weekend, and on Sunday afternoon we went into DC to try to see the cherry blossoms.
We knew it was early — peak blooms were predicted for March 27, but we figured they must be starting by March 23. Right?
Not really.
Most of the trees weren’t ready yet. Though, some were further along.
I didn’t mind. It was a little chilly, but sunny. And we found a garden that was a little more interesting.
And, while my cats were pretty much left alone this week, I did subject outdoor kitty Meadow to a photo shoot. I couldn’t have a week without any kitties!

Those are great shots of cherry blossoms. Spring must be such a wonderful time there!
You make amazing pictures! I love all of them, but your cat pictures steal my heart! By the way, I have a puking cat at home as well, but she’s not allowed to sleep on our bed! I’ve been reading a few blogposts here, and that convinced me that I’m doing the right thing! hehehehe!
Happy Birthday to you, your cupcakes make me want to go out to buy some!
Beautiful colorful phtos! The picture of your cat makes me laugh, he looks so unamused! lol
Thank you! you posted these just for me, didn’t you? 🙂 Pink beautiful blossoms of hope and life! I’m *still* looking at snow outside my windows…and it’s 15F.
Great pictures. Love the kittie photo. Looks like my Zoe!

I used to live there and that was my very favorite time of year. Beautiful!
Even though it was early, I still think the trees look beautiful. Great job with the photography!
Beautiful pictures! I love the first one, in particular, though they’re all quite good.
Green grass?
Flowers?
I nearly licked the screen.
We still have snow, and are expecting more Monday and Tuesday.
AAAARGH!
Sweet kitty, though.
Those pictures are so beautiful – shamefully I’ve never been to DC, but I really want to go.
And love the kitty picture!
I haven’t been to see the cherry blossoms yet! I need to go. 🙂
Great photos, and you got some good ones of the cherry blossoms, even if they are not at their peak yet!
Wonderful photography; great perspectives, angles, and depth of field! You rocked it. 🙂
