During the rest of "Relaxed January", we will be reposting some of our most viewed Nature Friday posts of 2024. This March 2024 post was one of our most viewed. I think it is because of my cute cherry blossom smile....

Howdy effuryone! Welcome to Nature Friday, where we can meet some new friends and maybe share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville.
This week, we are letting Mama show off some of the pictures she took of the famous Washington DC Cherry Blossoms.

The pawrents were amazed to have temperatures in the 60s most of the week they were in DC. Between the warm temperatures and rain, the cherry blossoms are making an early appearance!

If you know Mama, you know she found some artsy things to frame with the pink blooms

Mama says that cherry blossom pink might just be as pretty as Carribean Blue....

I told her it was much prettier, of course Pink IS my most favorite color!

While the streets looked so pretty lined with pink, Mama said a lot of the cherry blossoms hadn't started to bloom yet or were just starting to bloom

All in all, even the beginning of cherry blossom season
looks beautiful and it must be something beautiful to see
when it's in full swing.

ReplyDeleteThe cherry blossoms in DC are breathtakingly gorgeous and yes, mom has seen them in person. Her favorite spot to see them is in front of the Jefferson Memorial.
ReplyDeletethanks for showing the macro bloom, up close and gorgeous. I loved the framed statue on he wall, its my favorite. 2nd is the sidewalk framed with these stunning trees, no I have never seen the cherry trees, at 8 years old I got a spanking on the steps in front of Lincoln in his chair. that was way back in 1952 ... yes you do have a beautiful and oh so cute smile
ReplyDeleteCherry blossoms are so pretty. We love our own two cherry trees that have the blossoms in the spring. One of these days we are going to make it to DC. We were going in the fall but had to cancel when Madison fell ill. Great photos and memories!
ReplyDeleteNiece Rosy this is 100% a favorite for that Rosy signature smile and all the pink

Those cherry blossoms are so beautiful, but not as gorgeous as you, Rosy.
ReplyDeleteJava Bean: "Ayyy, you do have a perfect little cherry blossom smile, Rosy!"
ReplyDeleteLulu: "Every time Dada sees cherry blossoms he starts singing something about somebody named Kayleigh and 'Do you remember the cherry blossoms in the market square?' We have no idea what he's on about."
The blossoms are such a delight, I would love to see them in person someday.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I didn't see the link on this page, so I clicked "here" as it said, the page there says this hop is closed. I was hoping to join the fun this week, but maybe next time, right?
DeleteAh, sweet Spring, says Mom. She can't wait. The cherry blossoms are so pretty. We want to keep our snow but we understand her longing. We also couldn't join the hop, but we are still hopping along with the others.
