It’s that time of the year again. The National Cherry Blossom Festival started this past weekend. The peak bloom period was estimated to be April 3 to 5, so a few of us met in town last night for a quick bit at Teaism and then a nice walk to the Tidal Basin.

Katie tells me that viewing cherry blossoms at night is a Japanese tradition — but mostly as an excuse to get really drunk and walk around in the dark. We didn’t drink nearly enough if that is the case, but the weather was gorgeous, and so it was a nice walk outside.

Here are a few of my pictures I took last night, Katie has her pictures posted as well.
