A tremendous shot!!!!, Bill
Oh, Bill … thank you dear!!!!!!! There ya go … I just spent the last half hour looking for a good Thomas Jefferson quote and found nothing I liked … THIS is great … may I use it in the description?
Exceptional work Lois, so well framed by the trees, with an awesome perspective…inst fave!!!!
thank you, Larry!!!!! I’ve got shots with the tree in focus and the memorial not … and more like this … was hard to choose which I preferred, lol!!!! So glad you approve of this one!!!!!
Outstanding work my dear friend. I love the tree, it frames your shot beautifully.
thanks darling girl … there’s a creative dof challenge floating around that I used as an excuse for popping this one up … glad you liked it!!! YAY!!!
Lovely capture, Lois! The delicate cherry blossoms frame the Tidal Basin and memorial so beautifully!
Jan you are so good to me … thank you!!! You know I’ve lived here all my life (lotz and lotza years) and I think this is the first time I’ve actually been down to see the blossoms!!!! BOY was it crowded!!!!
It was a lot easier to see when we worked there!
This really was a great spring season … for the first time in I don’t know how long, we actually had blooms at peak during the festival … and the temps were glorious … warm but not hot … it was perfect!!!
Really good picture, Lois. Well framed
Hi Jeff!!!!! Thank you!!!!! You have to know there was a story behind jockying for position to catch the blossoms and the memorial in one frame … WITHOUT TOURIST HEADS, lol!!!!!
Did you take the metro in to DC? I remember those crowds. Phew.
yeah, we went in on the metro .. my son and his girlfriend were going down and I tagged along. I Do Not Like the metro … especially with all the horrible accidents recently on the red line … but the crowds there weren’t as bad as I expected (and we came home during rush hour!!) … plus … we made it back in one pice, lol … so all in all a successful day!!!!!
