BGuthrie Photos: DC -- Cherry Blossoms around the Tidal Basin (2019)

DC -- Cherry Blossoms around the Tidal Basin (2019):

Bruce Guthrie Photos Home Page: [Click here] to go to Bruce Guthrie Photos home page.

Description of Pictures: The blossoms for the last two years had been horrible. Freakish weather caused the different species of trees to blossom separately instead of together. For some reason, now that we're back to a two-party national government, the species are again blossoming together!
Pictures include running into a former co-worker Tanya Shen.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. CHERRY_190401_019.JPG: Former co-worker Tanya Shen had a day off and we ran into each other around the tidal basin.
2. CHERRY_190401_083.JPG: Temporary cheery blossom traffic signs
3. CHERRY_190401_102.JPG: "Let Me Congratulate You on the Cherry Blossom Festival" The celebration, held in 1927, to commemorate the 1912 planting of the cherry trees, captured the attention of Edith Wilson, widow of President Woodrow Wilson. She wrote to organizer Elise Marsteller Mulliken in appreciation of its merit. A second celebration took place in 1934, and in time, an annual festival signaled the arrival of spring in Washington, DC. The National Cherry Blossom Festival continues these traditions by promoting the beauty of nature and international friendship through year-round programs, events, and educational initiatives that enhance our environment, showcase arts and culture, and build community spirit.
4. CHERRY_190401_118.JPG: "The Nation's Greatest Springtime Celebration" The National Cherry Blossom Festival features spectacular events surrounding traditional and contemporary arts and culture, natural beauty, and community spirit. People can enjoy everything from free performances to tree plantings throughout the region. The Festival includes an opening ceremony, kite festival, fireworks, parade, sports, and much more, commemorating the gift of cherry blossom trees and the enduring friendship between the United States and Japan.
5. CHERRY_190401_257.JPG: Cherry blossoms are back! The blossoms for the last two years had been horrible. Freakish weather caused the different species of trees to blossom separately instead of together. For some reason, now that we're back to a two-party national government, the species are again blossoming together!
6. CHERRY_190403_040.JPG: Signs about not climbing the trees are all over the place, and that's mostly to prevent parents from letting their kids climb them. But that doesn't stop people.
7. CHERRY_190403_278.JPG: Visiting the Tidal Basin in the afternoon sun lights up the Washington Monument and the far bank of cherry blossom trees. Somewhat different image than the one taken in the morning a couple of days before.
Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
Connection Not Secure messages? Those warnings you get from your browser about this site not having secure connections worry some people. This means this site does not have SSL installed (the link is http:, not https:). That's bad if you're entering credit card numbers, passwords, or other personal information. But this site doesn't collect any personal information so SSL is not necessary. Life's good!
