Cherry Blossoms at the Tidal Basin - Washington DC Photography
A wall of cherry blossoms in full peak bloom lines the Tidal Basin like a pink cloud that has settled on the water's edge, with the Washington Monument standing tall behind them in the clear spring sky. The famous Yoshino cherry trees a gift from Japan in 1912 form an unbroken canopy of pale pink that draws hundreds of thousands of visitors to the capital each spring for just this moment. Strollers dot the waterfront path beneath the branches, dwarfed by the sheer abundance of blossoms above. The still water of the basin reflects the soft pink haze, doubling the spectacle and blurring the line between shore and sky. It is Washington at its most gentle and its most photogenic monumental stone softened by the most fleeting of flowers.
