Today is Tax day. Normally it is on April 15th, but since that fell on a Saturday the IRS has "generously" given us two more days to file. Good news for all procrastinators but bad news for accountants who have to wait two more days to start drinking heavily.

After my dismal failure to get any quality Cherry Blossom shots around the Tidal Basin, I got up obcenely early, at least for me, and captured this.

The best time of the year to visit Washington, DC is in the spring and the best time to photograph the Cherry Blossoms is at dawn.

Went downtown Friday evening and thought I would photograph the Cherry Blossoms around the Tidal Basin. Unfortunately, they were not lit up. I guess that is why I have never seen any good shots of the Cherry Blossoms surrounding the Tidal Basin at night. This is the best I could do. The blossoms are illuminated by streat lights and traffic with some help from my flash.
