Jefferson Memorial kissed with Blossoms

Jefferson Memorial kissed with Blossoms

Uploaded: April 13, 2005

Description

This is my of my favorites. I like the image of the memorial in the background with the blossoms. I took this in the morning and used my digital on a tripod. I had to be careful as the place was full of people and it was hard to capture one without people in it.

Thank you for the nice comments. I actually didn't try to frame the picture. I was trying to get a close up of the cherry blossoms....and sometimes mistakes make the best photo's. Glad you liked it. Shelly #1251528

i love the jeff mem being a blurry bg...you didn't run into Cathy Gregor amongst the cb's...she shot some of the same things...by the way I'm not a golfer nor is my hubbie, but I'v been to the Master's for the last 5 years and him for 12 so most likely will go back next year if you still want a hat then...just keep in mind in advance of the Master's #1251853

Hi Shelly,

The building in your picture is the Jefferson Memorial in the Tidal Basin, not the Lincoln Memorial.

The picture is very nicely done. Congratulations!!!
