Celebrate the Cherry Blossoms

This weekend, I celebrated the National Cherry Blossom Festival 2015 in Washington D.C.  What a wonderful event.  We have lived in NoVa for 15 years and  had yet to attend the festival.  Peak bloom was the very day we attended, April 11, 2015.

Spent the entire day walking the capital area--the mall, the National Gallery of Art, the Tidal Basin, Pennsylvania Ave. for the Street Festival.

I took around 300 pics and will post them all week to honor the day and the beauty of the trees.

 Perhaps pinterest some Japanese recipes.  Work on a project using my Kimono fabric... Hmmm lots to think about.
