Such a glorious day! Cherry blossoms at their peak

On most days I am very happy to live in the nation's capital but there are some days when I am more than happy. I am ecstatic! Today was one of those days. Enjoying the cherry blossoms is an experience that ranks high on my list of incredible experiences. Here are some of my photos that, of course, do not come close to conveying the beauty of the Japanese trees and the warmth of the spring sunshine and the excited joy of the crowds from all over the country. Have you ever walked on air? It's a marvelous feeling!

I took most of the photos as I walked between the Jefferson Memorial and the FDR Memorial. I took some from the car (while Andrea was driving).
