Spring memories


I love April in Virginia! The Red Bud, the dark Sugar Gum blossoms, the forsythia and peeking green. I found these pictures from this last spring and wanted to share them.

The first are from a road trip we took to the Shenendoah's during Spring Break. James found an old turn of the century Bed and Breakfast where we were the only guests for the night. It was quaint and charming and I felt transported to the past.











These next are from our annual trip to see the cherry blossoms downtown. The Jefferson Memorial sits on the tidal basin which is the center for the cherry blossoms. The trees surround the basin with a walking path just beneath. My camera didn't capture the beauty of the evening. It was truly magnificent.







This is under a magnolia tree near the James Madison memorial across from the Tidal Basin.
