One of the things I enjoy about photography is the ability to keep scenes like this with you throughout the year. I suppose the same could be said about painting, because I can easily see how scenes like this could be translated to canvas.
Lots of folks were flocking to Washington, D.C. this week and weekend to see the cherry blossoms. I would have, too, had this past week's weather been a little more cooperative. Still, there are "festivals of color" nearly everywhere in Virginia these days, so I was more than content to simply enjoy our more domestic displays.
