I didn’t want to do the normal picture thing at the Cherry Blossom Festival again this year and with all the location based stuff going on these days I decided to do some geotagging. Tuesday was a sunny warm day compared to the rest of the week so I took the afternoon off to bike around DC and take pics of all the cherry blossoms I came across. Unfortunately my camera doesn’t have GPS so I had to manually tag all the pics with their location. I took pictures of anything remotely resembling a cherry blossom tree. I didn’t realize how many are around town. I guess when they are only blooming for a few weeks out of the year you don’t realize they are there. They are quite nice looking for that small period of time and a big contrast from the winter.
You can tell there are a lot of people in town during the weekends because of the festival but the tidal basin wasn’t crowded on Tuesday. There were people but it wasn’t the normal herd of cattle going around the tidal basin trail. There were no lines at the porto-potties or vendors and there were tables open. Instead of a beer garden they had a Japanese tea garden. Although everyone in it was drinking beer.
I also found trees blossoming around the White House and a few small parks around DC.
UPDATE: It was a windy day today and the air was filled with cherry blossom petals. They even swirl around my 10th floor office window.
