Spring Just Keeps Getting Better

Some photos from my walk today at lunch. Sometimes I wonder how the world would be if everything blossomed all at once. That is, I can imagine how amazing some pictures would be.
But I think there's wisdom in having things come in their own time. For example, some of the photos might be discordant, having too many colors and shapes involved--a little like the combination of these three pictures. But also, I think some of the small things might need their own attention. We might otherwise overlook the individual beauty of some flowers, because they would be masked by the beauty of others. And, spring lasts a little longer, too, as everything comes in its season, right?

Cherry Blossoms

As part of the Kite Festival Trip, we also scooted over to see the Cherry Blossoms. Although I've been in DC for almost six years now, interestingly enough, before yesterday, the only time that I'd been on the mall in the daylight hours to get good photos was during my visit before I actually moved here. So I was quite glad for this opportunity. Of course, Saturday was a busy day to be going so getting good pictures was a bit of a trick. But I do have to say that I've always kind of liked those candid shots anyway. Sometimes people in their normal living make good shots, too, right?
