I looked at the weather forecast this morning and realized if I was going to see the cherry blossoms in the sunshine, today was my day. About 8,000 other people had the same idea, but with a little parking karma I was able to conjure up a space in West Potomac Park and walk over to the Tidal Basin. I was duly rewarded.
As I looked at the puffy white against the clear blue sky I thought of the View Master I had as a 
kid. When I looked at View master slides of Washington in the spring it was like the world around me stopped and I was sucked inside the world of the View Master.Today was a lot like that.

The Japanese felt the need to have a special word for enjoying cherry blossom; Hanami - I for one have always understood why. Such a magical sight. Great to see you back with such an awesome post.
How glorious! Beautiful pics and welcome back!
Yes, View Master was fabulous "trip" for me in 50's also. Thanks for reminding me.

I miss my hometown this time of year . . .
