DC Sakura Matsuri 2013: Tidal Basin Morning

So, the last of the cherry blossoms are dropping their petals, and the primary colors are turning from pink and white to green, after a seemingly endless Winter. Here are photos I took during my walk from the Tidal Basin to the DC Sakura Matsuri (street festival) on Saturday.
I’ll have photos from the matsuri itself in a later post.

Enjoy!

Dance like you just don’t care…

At the DC Sakura Matsuri in 2011, I happened to catch this couple as they danced to the music of a band playing at one of the music bandstands in the plaza of the Reagan building. They had obviously been dancing together for quite a while, and they were having so much fun that I had to catch a few shots of them. I’m hoping the Matsuri this year goes well, and I really hope I can catch some good views of the cherry blossoms down at the Tidal Basin.
