WASHINGTON DC CHERRY BLOSSOM FESTIVAL 2010



This year the Cherry Blossom Festival was as beautiful as last year but it had a different feel.  The winds were calm on Friday April 2, so the photos reflect the difference to last years high winds and choppy water.  The brightness of the sun was immense on Friday requiring more breaks to find some shade.  The crowds were huge but not as large as on the day I went last year and everyone's attitude was better because I didn't hear as many complainers. There was some kind of construction near the Jefferson Memorial area of the tidal basin with huge barricades to get past.  It caused some minor inconveniences and the performance stage was moved away from that area so it was somewhat quieter
