It's spring and here in Washington, D.C., that means cherry blossoms! It also means lots of tourists and terrible traffic jams. Fortunately, most people like to sleep in when they're on vacation. There are no crowds at 5:30 a.m. Early morning at the Tidal Basin during peak bloom is quiet and beautiful. Here are a few photos that I took on April 2.
