Cherry Blossoms

The cherry blossoms are one of my favorite things about living in the District. Though I get annoyed with having my usually quiet neighborhood overrun with tourists who flock here to see them, once I’m down by the Tidal Basin, and all of the already-beautiful monuments are framed in fluffy pink clouds, I feel downright magnanimous towards all the camera-toting tourists and blend right into the slow-moving crowd, snapping pictures.
