Photo by @andywcoleman // Spring comes to Washington, D.C. with a burst of color as the cherry trees blossom on the National Mall. During peak bloom, crowds flood the areas near the Tidal Basin to see the monuments surrounded by the flowering trees. The Washington Monument and Jefferson Memorial tend to attract the most people, but you can find blossoms in many other areas. I liked the way the blooms framed the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial right after sunset. #CherryBlossom
