I don’t think I’ve ever seen chain link fence around a tree like this before. I’m guessing it’s just temporary. Anyone know what the deal is?

Wild! A reader sent in this photo (sadly just of the plaque and not the tree.) It was found on New Hampshire Ave. somewhere between Dupont Circle and M Street. Anyone ever seen this tree/plaque before? Pretty cool.

It had the most extraordinary flowers with an insanely vibrant color. I actually saw a bunch of these trees all over town, anyone what kind they are?

I’ve been getting lots more cherry blossom shots on the PoPville flickr pool and some are so good I have to share them. This great shot is from Rukasu1

This one is from Suse_dc taken at Dumbarton Oaks in Georgetown.

This one is from Jess J titled “blossoms for sale”.
Two more (including my favorite at the end) after the jump. (more…)

I love the proper cherry blossom festival and all but I equally love catching trees in bloom around town. This next month to six weeks could be the greatest time to enjoy DC.
Anyone check out the proper festival this weekend?

I think I smell a series brewing… So, what the hell is this? Was the bucket placed there when the tree was just a sapling? Or is this just pure randomness?

Wow, I stared at these shrubs for a good 3 minutes. And I was sober as a judge too…

Though, I think this might just be a big piece of driftwood.


I feel like these would be very welcome on the surface of Mars. Anyone know what kind they are?
