We only had 20 minutes of shooting time before the rain rushed us out. I’m just glad we had those 20 minutes. The clouds and sky were perfect!

Kenilworth aquatic gardens is definietly a hidden gem in the DC area. Every time I show my friends images from here they’re super surprised that I took this in DC AND in Anacostia of all places, which is exactly known as the safest area in DC. But I’m so glad summer flower season is here. They’re one of my favorites!
With all the rain and wind we’ve been getting the past couple of weeks, the tulips aren’t holding on as well as I thought they would be. It’s ok though because imperfection is just as beautiful.
I feel like if I ever had a book about my life, this would be the cover.
Spent a beautiful morning wondering around the Smithsonian Gardens behind the castle. Such a beautiful place with not many people around.
Pro tip: another great place to catch the cherry blossoms when they bloom.
For now, they have these amazing magnolias trees. It was like flower heaven.
You know it’s spring when you start seeing these bloom. If cherry blossoms are the official flowers of spring in the DC area, then I think magnolias are the second runner up. They’re everywhere and they’re so big and beautiful. I’ve even heard a few tourists ask if these were cherry blossoms. No… but they’re just as beautiful 🙂
