Spring has been good to us. Cool nights and comfortable days in spite of a 10,000 pollen count in April! While I don't usually have allergy problems even my sinuses sung this year. Hopefully, with summer just around the corner all of the suffering is over.
We have taken advantage of some of the wonderful DC events that occur each spring and celebrated a few special events. These photos were taken at the Smithsonian Natural History Museum. A not to miss museum on the National Mall. They have completely remodeled the mammal hall and the ocean hall. A fabulous way to spend the day!
These photos were taken at the National Cherry Blossom festival. This is a beautiful event that commemorates the 1912 gift to the city of Washington of 3,000 cherry blossom trees from Mayor Yukio Ozaki of Tokyo. The celebration runs for a solid two weeks while the blossoms are in bloom. If you have never walked the tidal basin while they are in bloom you are missing something truly stunning.
