Another from Saturdays outings to the Smithsonian Castle. This is the Arts and Industrial Building which is the second oldest Smithsonian museum on the National Mall. It opened in 1881 and hosted the inaugural ball of President James A. Garfield.
I may head back there Thursday and see if full bloom is happening and check on the Tidal Basin. They expect full bloom there next week and with some 70 degree days coming this weekend I think they are right.
@lesip We were off by a week on our visit. Charleston was in full bloom over the past 3 days, and now are in Savannah, so will be checking it out tomorrow. Have fun photographing the beauties in DC!
