(It is great to cover the same event for several years. One gets to develop a friendship with the participants and more importantly understand the needs of the events. They don't have to worry about the 'photographer'. Thank you GABC for your continued trust.)

It was hard for me to wake up early this year to greet the Cherry Blossoms at the Tidal Basin. Thus, this is another interpretation of their short lived existence.
