Description of Pictures: I visited the blossoms three times this year. On the first day, I found myself in the midst of a photo shoot for a Cherry Blossom princess event and ended up helping out at one of their events later in the week.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. CHERRY_030401_031.JPG: Charmin bathroom tissue, whose current advertising campaign has something to do with the old joke about a bear shitting in the woods, provided two large outhouse trailers. They were very clean, complete with little tourism videos. The National Park Service considered this a donation in kind of $100,000.
2. CHERRY_030401_109.JPG: This Japanese Stone Lantern was given to the United States by the Japanese ambassador in 1954. It's 300 years old and commemorates the 100th anniversary of the first Treaty of Peace, Amity and Commerce between the US and Japan signed by Commodore Matthew Perry.
3. CHERRY_030401_145.JPG: That's the Commerce department and the Old Post Office tower in the background. In the foreground is the Washington Monument.
4. CHERRY_030401_157.JPG: Squirrel time!
5. CHERRY_030403_096.JPG: This marker indicates that this was the first of the cherry trees planted: "Japanese Cherry (Prunus Yedoensis): A Gift from the City of Tokyo -- Planted March 27, 1912 by Viscountess Chinda in the Presence of The Ambassador from Japan and Mrs William H Taft."
6. CHERRY_030403_102.JPG: The old-looking tree on the right is the first of the cherry trees that was planted here. You can see the little marker in front of it. The larger marker behind it is a more general monument.
7. CHERRY_030403_178.JPG: The presidential helicopter flew over a few times. Bush on his way to Camp David. For security reasons, there are actually three presidential helicopters that come in and leave so terrorists won't know which one to shoot down.
8. CHERRY_030403_221.JPG: Yep. This and the next picture look the same. This one's got a seagull in it if you're into that sort of thing.
9. CHERRY_030403_260.JPG: Since this was during the second Iraqi war, there were a lot of military helicopters flying over all the time. Plus I'm sure they enjoyed the cherry blossoms too.

2003 photos: Trips this year: Three-week trip this year out west, mostly in Utah. Equipment this year: I decided my Epson digital camera wasn't quite enough for what I wanted. Since I already had Compact Flash chips for it, I had to find another camera which used CF chips. That brought me to buy the Fujifilm S602 Zoom in March 2003. A great digital camera, I used it exclusively for an entire year. Number of photos taken this year: 68,000.
