“In honor of the approaching peak bloom, I wanted to share some of my favorite cherry blossom murals that can be enjoyed all year long or as an addition/alternative to the crowds around the allergy-inducing trees.
My favorite mural in this group is actually on the ground. Across two basketball courts is a giant portrait of MLK Jr. and his “I Have a Dream” quote that includes cherry blossoms, the Washington Monument and shoutouts to DC statehood. Art was done by @Chrispyrate @oheylil and @thehoopbus in 2020. It can be found in Oxon Run Park near Wheeler Rd & Valley Ave SE”
A beautiful portrait featuring cherry blossoms titled “Amanda (Blossom Branch)” was created by @nilsrva in 2018 at Wylie St & 13th St NE
Another great one by @chrispyrate from 2021 featuring his signature cherry blossom florals is at Florida Ave & North Capitol NE
Cherry blossoms adorn an alley door which is directly next to a 2021 mural by @mimithemuralist of RBG, Kamala Harris & Sally Ride 15th St & Duvall Ct SE
Do you know of any other cherry blossom murals in the city? Please share!”

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
