ANGELA B. PAN

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 🙂

Three things I was grateful for this week:

1. Finding out that I’ll be in time for the cherry blossoms in Tokyo! Can’t freakin’ wait for our trip.

2. See you next year, snow.

3. Being able to rest this weekend. I’ve been sick all week 🙁

So yesterday Park Services moved up their cherry blossom peak prediction to the end of March. With the super warm weather we’ve been having I’m not surprised. It makes me a little sad that I may not be here for the cherry blossoms in DC but it looks like we’ll be right on time for the cherry blossoms in Tokyo!! I can’t wait to check out the real deal in Japan! It’s been on my vision board for over a year and it’s actually happening. Less than 2 weeks til our trip 😀

So I was looking at my instagram and noticed that a lot of my recent pictures have been very blue. Not that theres anything wrong with blue. Blue is my favorite color but I felt like I needed more variety. I went digging through my spring images and this is what I came up with! Haha. Not very colorful but I love the line. The more I look at it the more I see different shapes and figures. At one point of processing I think I crossed my eyes so much that I kinda saw a woman standing there. Do you see it or am I going crazy staring at the computer screen?
