Since you can’t go out and see the bloom, we’ll bring it to you online! Every spring, the cherry blossoms on the National Mall and Memorial Parks in Washington, D.C. explode into a gorgeous display of white and pink. Blooming into flowering clouds that hover over the Tidal Basin, it’s an incredible natural event in the middle of an urban area. A gift from Japan to the United States in 1912, these gorgeous trees are a symbol of peace and friendship. For photographer Jen Johnson, they’re also a connection to family, “Ever since I was a young child, my favorite memories include my grandfather, who was also a photographer, taking us to the view the cherry blossoms at the Tidal Basin. I continue to photograph the cherry blossoms in memory of him.” Photo from 2019 courtesy of Jen Johnson.

Blooming into flowering clouds that hover over the Tidal Basin, it’s an incredible natural event in the middle of an urban area.
