A Spectacular Spectacle!

"2009 Cherry Blossom Festival"

The Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington DC was everything it was billed as, and more! The beautiful, deep blue sky made for a magnificent background for these willowy pink and white buds.

The photography club went down for a day trip Saturday, along with a few million others, and we were not disappointed. In fact, we were surprised by the kindness extended by fellow strangers. We befriended a couple young women who walked with us for a good bit of the afternoon. Others were generous with directions and pleasantries. Although it was super-crowded, the mood was one of awe in God's splendor.
