More flowers!

We've added more pictures to Picasa from our trip to see the cherry blossoms around the Tidal Basin and Jefferson Memorial. Some faves:





I have also been meaning to post more pictures from around town and our home to fully document this wonderful thing called an "East Coast Spring" (see some below and in our album). There are flowers everywhere and the trees are literally full of blossoms. People with allergies must be having an awful time of it, but I am taking it all in with deep breaths and open eyes. Certainly we have our share of daffodils and tulips in California, but not this dramatic change from a dreary, grey winterscape to a bright and colorful springtime. I am loving every minute of it!
