I have always loved seeing the cherry blossoms bloom in the spring. The Cherry Blossom Festival in D.C. was one of my favorite spring activities when I lived in the area. This cherry blossom photo was taken in downtown Seattle in the mid-90s. I stood under the tree and shot the fluffy white umbrella of [...]
