Photo by @jeffmauritzen. Springtime cherry blossoms surround the Tidal Basin and Jefferson Memorial in Washington, D.C. With colder than normal temperatures effecting the D.C. region this year, the National Park’s peak bloom forecast for the cherry blossoms has been pushed back to April 8-12. Plenty of time to still make a trip and see this incredible sight for yourself! Photo taken on a previous year’s full bloom.
