I spent the morning at the WWII memorial. It wasn’t planned, I was trying to shoot at Founder’s park but there were so many trees that it was blocking the colors of the sunrise. I ran over to the WWII and was amazed by the sky.

Thanks to the man who was cleaning up the memorial who let me use my tripod. Thanks to the parking ticket lady who almost gave me a ticket but I ran back to my car in time.

Hellooo Wednesday! 🙂

Usually, I don’t take portraits, but I couldn’t resist this time. She stood right next to me and it was like she was asking me to take her picture. What do you think about this image? Should I do more portraits like this? Kinda street/candid shots?

We had some pretty heavy rain over the weekend. It was kinda nice because it gave me a little break from going out shooting. Sunday afternoon, I looked out the window and it was so sunny out with beautiful clouds that I had to go back to the tidal basin. I had to see if the rain knocked down all the cherry blossoms. Unfortunately, they are pretty much done 🙁 There goes cherry blossom 2012 season.

It’s been such a mild winter with no snow (no I’m not bitter about the lack of snow) so its been pretty difficult to predict when the cherry blossoms are going to bloom. I kept on hearing from different sources different peak dates, so I decided that I was going to take a look for myself this morning. There were a few blooms but probably just a few more days until full bloom 🙂
