“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!”

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
