Cherry Blossoms, Washington DC

We live in a beautiful world!!  It is absolutely breathtaking to walk through and experience this country’s history, enjoying the scenery while petals of cherry blossoms flutter around you like a live fantasy.

The National Cherry Blossom Festival in spring celebration in Washington, D.C.  Commemorating the March 27, 1912, gift of Japanese cherry trees from Mayor Yukio Ozaki of Tokyo City to the city of Washington.  Mayor Ozaki donated the trees in effort to enhance the growing friendship between the United States and Japan and also celebrate the continued close relationship between the two nations.  Giant colorful helium balloons, elaborate floats, the energy-filled parade, the marching bands from across the country and a grand spectacle of music and showmanship seen only once a year are parts of the festival.





































Colorado is right above Virginia.. love the irony.


Lincolns presence is so profound, he radiates an energy that you can only experience in person.
