Cherry Blossoms at the Tidal Basin

So obviously we had to post a cherry blossom picture to show off the same thing that every other DC blog, article, website, news report, or person on the street is currently mentioning. (That last link has some really great images.)
We made it down around the Tidal Basin this past Saturday to see the trees and other festival events, and yes, it is worth it — despite the slow moving crowds. The best part is actually the people watching: the women taking photos with blossoms shoved in their faces, the parents stuffing their little toddlers in the branches for a photo-op, etc etc. And of course the paddle-boaters above, making circles in the Tidal Basin, with the Jefferson Memorial in the distance.

Greetings from Knoxville TN! This is my first visit to your site. I like the way you framed this shot! Many years ago I visited DC during cherry blossom time - I remember how beautiful everything was, especially in the rain.
