Spring Begins

Close up of the magnolia trees budding all around the Smithsonian Castle. Waiting on the cherry blossoms around the tidal basin.

Beautiful soft pastel colors and a fantastic composition. In the south we call these tulip trees. FAV

Gorgeous pastel colors and beautiful blooms on the magnolia's! I was just in DC a few days ago and I saw the pink haze from the buds on the cherry trees at the Tidal Basin. I'm going to head down there one day for Peak!

Simply gorgeous! Next time I'm in DC, let's photograph together! This trip was so quick I couldn't, but hoping it works out. We took totally different shots -- I love yours. Will post mine eventually.

absolutely, sounds like a plan ... did you happen to visit the hirshhorn museum? I believe you would enjoy it.
