a few cherry blossoms
some friends and i went to look at the cherry blossoms in DC on wednesday. monday night, a storm passed through the area, so we didn't expect much. we were disappointed anyway.
when we got to the tidal basin, which is ringed by ornamental cherry trees, we quickly discovered the One Tree that still had flowers:
lots of people were gathered around the One Tree, taking pictures.
as it turned out, there were a few other trees that had flowers. i liked the shape of this one:
this is one shot from below, because otherwise i'd have to be in the tidal basin to get a picture of it:
this panorama from the jefferson memorial makes the extent of the flower losses clear. what you're not seeing are the trees along the shore filled with pink or white flowers.
the jefferson memorial has a bunch of inscriptions about liberty and justice and other quaint ideas. i wonder how much of the US one could power by hooking a generator to jefferson's body spinning in his grave.
