Cherry blossoms...

When my husband and I went to the National Zoo in March, we took a side trip to the Tidal Basin to see the  cherry blossom trees. I've wanted to go every year for years, but we never made it until this year. Because of the unusually warm spring weather, the trees bloomed early and I was able to catch them in action. Most of them were still white, having not yet turned to pink, but some were taking on a rosier hue. The trees are a national treasure and definitely worth the trip and crowds to check them out.

A day with the animals...

In March, my husband and I spent a day at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. The weather was unusually warm for early spring and the animals were ready to play. We had a great time and I got some great shots.

Dinner anyone? 

I absolutely love this duck. He was great!
