Theres this energy that I can’t describe when you visit the tidal basin during cherry blossom season. Everyone is so happy and excited. People get dressed up to take pictures in front of the trees, smiling faces everywhere, it’s just so much fun!
Biggest tips to photographing the Washington DC cherry blossoms:
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.
Is it wrong to say that this reminds me of House of Cards? Is it also a mistake to say that Andrew and I have already finished the 4th season? Man, I hope we don’t have to wait another year to find out what happens next to the Underwood campaign.
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 😀
If you get to your location earlier enough, even on the cloudiest of days, you can still get a pretty awesome light show. This was taken last week after all the snow fell. The tidal basin was glowing in purples and I thought going behind Jefferson memorial would be a pretty cool view of it all.
