My girlfriend and I went to Washington D.C. during the peak blooming of the cherry trees that were given to us by the Japanese 100 years ago. The flowers are magnificent and lovely to see. The crowds are just unbelevialbe, no privacy just people everywhere.

Spring time is a glorious time of the year. Cherry blossoms are a sure sign of warmer weather and flowers are coming. This is at Brown Island down at the river in the city. Blossoms add a nice back drop and they are easy to get to even so close the the center of the city. Plenty of people out enjoying the weather.

There was quite a bit of snow this winter in the North East this year. We got some and I enjoyed it each time…if it got me out of some work. I took a walk in the woods in a near by park that was deserted as the snow was starting to come down. Everyone was busy getting their milk and bread at the store.

Blossoms were great this year, here are a few blossoms that I took my my Fujica AX-3 on Velvia 50 fujifilm. I wish there was more pink here in Richmond but most of them were white or slight pink. There is quite enough places to see blossoms in Richmond. These were taken at Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens in Lakeside. The gardens had installed Cherry trees all around the pond which is new this year. They are not all that amazing but in a few years when they grow and become larger they will be great.
Some blossoms had fallen on the pond in the Japanese garden…
Thanks for looking.
