What's Blossoming?

Remember my posts based on Reverb10 prompts?  I still get a prompt from Reverb each month.  "What's blossoming?" is today's prompt.

Today we toured Thomas Jefferson's Monticello at Charlottesville, VA.  Last week we walked the Capitol Mall twice at  the  beginning of Cherry Blossom Festival.  We toured Historic Jamestown and Williamsburg this past weekend.  In that brief span of time, the temperature jumped from the 40's to the 80's, and trees leafed out in a hurry.  Suddenly we were washing tree pollen off the windows of our van.

Here are a few samples of photos.  If you happen to make it to the Cherry Blossom Festival sometime, the best views are from the Franklin D Roosevelt Memorial, looking across the Tidal Basin toward the Jefferson Memorial and the Washington Monument.  You don't want to miss the FDR memorial anyway.
