    Very nice Scott. DC looks it's best at this time of year and the colours from your Leica show it off very well.
    But, at least the trees here in NH are starting to burst into life. I'm happy that spring is finally arriving.

    Ah, I'm jealous. I had planned to go last week so I could catch some but something came up so I couldn't go. When I went on Monday of this week, they were all gone. Oh well.

    You have some nice shots. I like how you framed Jefferson with the tree.

    I missed these
    Great shots very well done
    Last time I was in DC was a FAA training session
    It was spring but before the blooms we rushed downtown every evening to sight see.

    Thanks

    Brings back fond memories
    I didn't live in the district area that long, but was introduced to my husband and we got engaged at Cherry Blossom time.

    I have to get a scanner, so many old photos are starting to fade now...

    Then a DVD burner, and I'm all set to preserve family memories.

    Or experiment with photographing the photos...

    Very nice photos, Scott clap.gif

    Very nice Scott.

    I've never been there, not to mention at cherry blossom time so this is a treat to get to go on a virtual tour via your photos. My favs are 1 and 3.thumb.gif
