Cherry Blossoms at the National Arboretum Part 2

Cherry Blossoms at the National Arboretum Part 1

We spent several hours walking and driving around the arboretum admiring the cherry blossoms. Cherry blossoms are a favorite of mine, so I was really glad to be able to visit the arboretum and photograph them!

While taking this first set of cherry blossom pictures I accidentally stepped into what looked like an unsuspecting section of grass but was actually a big mud hole. Luckily we were parked nearby and my mom was able to get my shoe cleaned off!

Besides the cherry blossoms, we were also able to see some different types of magnolia trees. I was surprised at how many different varieties of magnolias there are!

Have you been able to see anything in bloom where you live?

Cherry Blossoms at the National Arboretum Part 2

My mom and I recently drove up to Washington DC to check out the cherry blossoms at the National Arboretum. (You can see our previous visit here and here.)

It was a beautiful warm and sunny day and the blossoms were at their peak. Unfortunately nothing else was in bloom except for the magnolia trees. Considering their were so many different varieties of cherry blossoms on display, it wasn't too much of a disappointment!

There were a lot more people at the arboretum than I was expecting, but not so many that it hindered taking pictures! But it was nice to see so many people out enjoying the cherry blossoms and the nice spring weather. 

Have you seen cherry blossoms yet where you live?
