Cherry Blossoms

Seeing the Cherry Blossoms is an annual tradition.

When I wasn't engaged yet, I used to stop by the Tidal Basin after work and spend the evening just walking underneath the beautiful blooms. It's a great thing that Kepi is also into the Cherry Blossoms, so when we finally got the time last weekend, we made the trek to DC with mom.

I think that I'll never cease being amazed at how beautiful these blooms are.  The word "beautiful" is not even close to describing these flowers, but perhaps heavenly is a more appropriate word. When you walk underneath the fully bloomed trees and the sky is covered with white and soft pink blooms, it's an out of this world experience.

Walk with me underneath the Cherry Blossoms.

I see balance and perfection on this tree.

    1. I agree. They're really beautiful, and we get to enjoy them at least two weeks annually. I with they'd bloom like that the whole year.

    1. The Cherry Blossoms here bloomed a week early because of the warm weather. I do hope you'll get some sun soon so that you can all go out and enjoy the blooms.

      Regards and hugs given to Mom.

  5. Beautiful photos! The cherry blossoms are so dreamy - parang the perfect setting for a romantic wedding.

    BTW, I can't comment in your craft blog because there is no "name/URL". Your creations are so pretty. :)

  9. These are so beautiful! Sorry this may sound ignorant, but I always thought that Cherry blossom trees can only be found in Japan :D

    Nice to have a post wedding photo under these trees :P

    1. Hi Kate, Actually, that's a good question. These Cherry Blossom trees here in DC were gifts from the people of Japan.

    1. Hi Amelia, I'm sorry to hear that your trip to Japan didn't push through. I hope you'd be able to go next year in time for the Cherry Blossoms. I also wanted to visit Asia this year but it's just too expensive.

  13. LOVELY! I can't thank God enough while I'm looking at the photos. He blessed us with endless beauty. I want to own the whole stretch of the road, then drag my bed, place it in the middle of the road, lie in it, get dreamy, and gaze at all these God's amazing creations until i doze off. ~shirley
