Description
I'd like to dedicate this to our friends in Japan for their generosity of spirit and to let them know they're in our hearts and prayers during these troubling times in the aftermath of the tsunami.
A quick trip down into Washington DC to the tidal basin yesterday early morning (3/27/2011) to see if we could get some shots of the snow on the cherry blossoms, but all I really got was watery eyes, a runny nose and frozen fingers ... that is until the sun came out. THEN it got pretty!!!
Image taken with the Nikon D300 and the 18-200mm vr Nikon lens. Fine art purchases of this image will not include a watermark, and if I may make a recommendation ... it will look its very best on the fine art paper choice of "picture rag."

Lois Bryan replied:
thanks, JC!!!! It had snowed the night before when we were there ... and at first it was horribly gray and clouds ... then the sun came out and I had about 15 minutes before the place was swarming in tourists!!!!!

Beautifully done imagery, Lois! Love the deep rich colors and yet can see the light pink of the blossoms! Superbly done piece of art work!
