I take photos and travel. I do it for a living. Seven continents. Dozens of countries. Up mountains. Under water. And a bunch of places in between. Based in Washington DC.

Will the blossoms still be in bloom by early next week (Monday through Wednesday)?
I should have a new update with photos tomorrow, which should give us a better idea of how they’re shaping up for the next few days.
Hello David,
I saw your latest post that today April 10th 2014 is peak bloom.
If I plan to visit Saturday will I still get to see the blossoms.
After peak bloom will it stay for couple days.
Yes, they’ll be looking great.
