Washington DC - Cherry Blossoms

PhyxiusPhyxius Registered Users Posts: 1,396 Major grins
Is anyone planning on hitting the tidal basin this week and weekend (3/30 - 4/5)? Peak blooms are supposed to be this week! Last year a group of dgrinners hit the tidal basin after the cherry blossoms were pretty much gone, but we had fun anyway.

I'm going to head up there after work one day this week and I hope to make it up on the weekend too.

If you're planning on being around drop a line in this thread!

and don't forget to make a stop at the conservatory!

    We're no longer in the area to enjoy this, but last year we Dgrinners who made it had so much fun. :D

    I hope to see some threads soon showing how it looks this year thumb.gif

    Hey guys,
    Can't wait to see the pix. It really doesn't feel like Spring without being able to see those cherry blossoms again :cry
    Shoot a few for me...

    I wasn't sure that I would be able to make it so I didn't jump in for a meet. Work tends to get in the way at the most inopportune moments. Did manage to stop by for a few minutes to experiment with IR on the blossoms. Still not sure what to think about it, but here's one image.
