Just in the nick of time

Stanton Park, a major park on Capitol Hill not far from our home, has a beautiful display of cherry trees in bloom. It’s a good thing we stopped when we did for this picture because the wind suddenly picked up and cherry blossoms were flying everywhere. Strong winds are forecast for this afternoon, too, so I’m afraid soon there won’t be much left of our beautiful spring display.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

That is too bad. I hope some are left. The framing of the statue is gorgeous. V

A beautiful time of the year in Washington. I like the leading lines and natural framing by the cherry blossoms in this wonderful capture. VV

I'm glad you got there when you did but the wind sometimes has its own mind!

What a glorious display. When the wind blows it must be like falling snow.

What a lovely composition!
I find the color of the statue and the cherry blossoms to be fantastic together.

Looks like you weren’t alone in enjoying these lovely blossoms. A pity they last such a short time.
