Waking up before dawn just to see the sunrise come over the Capitol and bathe the cherry blossoms in golden light on the Tidal Basin is totally worth it. I love sunrises anywhere but seeing one during the peak bloom of the beautiful cherry blossom season is amazing.
I have lived in the Washington, DC area for over four years now but I also went to college in DC, so I've had plenty of opportunities to enjoy the cherry blossoms. Taking photos of them never gets old, especially since its more challenging as I grow as a photographer. I'm always looking for that new angle or new way of seeing the blossoms that I haven't before. I think I got a couple of them this morning. See the full set here.
This is my favorite shot - I was playing around with the focus on the lens and came up with this shot of the cherry blossoms and a blurred Washington Monument.
Here's another shot that I came up with that's a little different from others I have taken. I tried to get a good view of Thomas Jefferson and the blossoms and I saw him hiding out in the blossoms on this shot.
