For this week's
PhotoHunt, I couldn't help but share a picture of some trees from the National Cherry Blossom Festival that happens every spring in Washington, DC at the Tidal Basin. There are so many gorgeous blooms that it really is a spectacular site, and I highly recommend getting to at least once in your life if you can. With the beautiful Jefferson Memorial across the water, and the trees dropping petals like spring snow in the breeze, it's at once ethereal, calming, and exciting - almost like stepping into another world.
Though not a tree (and not quite as breathtaking), I also thought I 'd take this opportunity to share with you the progress that our Lady Banks Rose, 'Audrey III' has made over the past few days. If you're a little lost on this background story, check out my previous post

Looking at all of those blooms just makes me smile. I know it's a bit cheesy, but hopefully it will add a little smile to your day as well. :)
"Audrey III" is gorgeous. We have a similar thing going on out here with our lilac bushes but too many buds were coming out when we had a frost last week and it killed them and our hyacinth so we can enjoy your blooms instead.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures! I bet you are happy you didn't cut Audrey III after all :)
