Oh So Boring…

The trials and tribulations of a man and his life. Tribulations, that's an odd word. Let's blog about it…

Cherry Blossom Festival ’010

It’s that time of year again. The cherry trees are blooming around the Tidal Basin and that means one thing: Matt gets up early and acts like a tourist!  Me and my wee point-and-shoot joined the vast army of people with good cameras down near the Jefferson Memorial and pictures were taken:

Cherry Blossoms 2009

It’s that time of year again here in DC…Cherry Blossom Festival time!  Today was the end of the “peak bloom period” according to the bigwigs at the NPS, and it was a Saturday.  I figured, go early, beat as much of the crowd as you can, and take some pictures:

Yet More Blossoms Choppy Waves

It was a very nice day, really: sunny, clear skies, not too cold…except, that is, for the wind.  The cold, biting, shiver-inducing wind!  Even The Hat was no relief during the big gusts!

Still, I got in a good walk, took some photos (some of which might even be not-that-bad) and got home safely.  Can’t beat that!
