Cherry Blossom Sunrise (minus the sun)

Monday morning was my only chance to catch a glimpse of the cherry blossoms at sunrise. It was finally a warm day but turned out to be a cloudy morning. And windy. The tidal basin was lined with photographers waiting for that perfect morning light, and it never really came. Even though my photos weren't as colorful as last year, it was still a beautiful morning. It was really enjoyable to stroll around by myself and take my time snapping photos. It's always refreshing to get up for the sunrise. (By always I mean once a year.)










(I know. I know. Everyone has some version of this same photo. I know I have about 500.)
