Hello to Springtime
Bright Sakura from Japan
Brief but beautiful
Predicting the peak Cherry Blossom bloom time in Washington DC is a “no win” situation just like those embattled school officials deciding whether or not to call a snow day. We’ve had visitors ask us when they should plan their vacations to see the Cherry Blossoms but there’s never a guarantee. The Cherry Blossoms are beautiful but extremely fickle. We felt very lucky when we visited Tokyo for a week in 2007 and the Sakura were still in bloom:

As we anticipate the 2015 Cherry Blossom season here in Washington DC this year, I’ve got my camera at the ready!

The Japanese surely know how to show off those cherry trees. And yes, it won’t be long now. It’s an exciting time to be in DC with a camera.

Where ever we went in Tokyo, there were Cherry Blossom trees in every park, temple and green space ~ so beautiful. Looking forward to the DC blooms next month!
