Cherry tree

This is directly across the street from me; isn't it beautiful? It's the same variety as the ones at the Tidal Basin.

It's beautiful Eileen - I do love cherry blossom. I'd love to go to Japan to see en masse.

The ones around the Tidal Basin were a gift from Japan to President Taft; there are about 100 of them there, and a spectacular sight by the water ... there is a big festival every year. They're old and huge, not young like the one across the street.

It's beautiful. I've always loved cherry tree's.
If only my garden was big enough. :-D:D

It was a picture-perfect day here today.
