DC weather has not been kind to these trees this year. First, it was still wool coat weather in April, then it hits 90 for two days. I am pretty sure these flowers are blooming and wilting in the same week. Also, I feel like the location is more conducive for people watching instead of flower watching. All I see is a sea of people. Nonetheless, I can understand how they are such a hit, especially when you get rained on by the little white petals. There was also a patch of tulips at Tidal Basin. I tried to make these flowers interesting, but tulips are just so boring in pictures. I tried to find ones that are wilting so they would have more character, but they were annoyingly perfect.
I am hoping my postings will become more regular once I finish my comprehensive exam. I am seriously counting down the days until I am forever done with classes. Taking these photos did help me de-stress a bit. The Puerto Rico photos WILL get posted soon...as soon as I find them.
Looks most excellent -- can't wait to see these in person next year.
