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!
