Cherry blossoms in our neighborhood

Did you know is the 100th anniversary of the cherry blossom trees around the tidal basin in the Mall? The trees were a gift from the Japanese government to the US government as a gift of "growing friendship." Every year we watch them spring out and delightfully enjoy their presence around the city.  Are there any cherry blossoms around your neighborhood?

  2. Such pretty photos, I love Cherry Blossoms! We have some in Malmö, along the bike road I used to take on my way to the Swedish Radio, when I worked there. I think I have to go and see if they are in blossom here too!

    Love Maria
