110 years ago on March 27, 1912, the first two Cherry Trees were planted on the Potomac river near the Jefferson memorial as a gift from Japan.
As I had never seen them but heard they were at peak, it was so much fun to wake one of my oldest friends and ask if she’d meet me there. Me coming from the North and she from the South.
We walked a while as we navigated our way through and around the National Mall and the Smithsonian finally to arrived at the Jefferson Memorial for our photo ops.
Friends for 45 years!
At friends for over 45 years, I think it’s about time we planted a tree to commemorate.
TIP: We tried the wharf for dinner but even on this early spring Thursday night reservations were needed everywhere.
This is a non-promotional blog. I am not a photographer nor am I selling anything through this blog. Professionally I am a Business Transformation Specialist focused on gaining efficiencies and reducing costs for major corporations. Recent life experiences made me better appreciate the present and all that can be seen by increasing my focus and attention on my surroundings. I always enjoyed going out and exercising and I would look but I did not see as my attention was on resolving some problem. Captured through pictures and sharing insights about various locations, I hope others can enjoy my research and insights and allow themselves to pause a few moments and truly appreciate and learn new things. When you follow me that is my only gift. To know I have touched you enough to want to follow the blog.
Respectfully (Stay Safe),
