The Cherry Blossoms are in Full Bloom!

I went downtown around dawn in the hopes of getting some sunrise pictures of the cherry blossoms around the Tidal Basin. Alas, it was already crowded with photographer, but eventually I found a parking place.

I spent some time taking pictures, but I have to confess that I spent more time enjoying the warmth of the sunshine and watching the people.
