Went on an adventure to see the cherry blossoms last weekend in DC.

Started by waking up at 3am to get there early enough to get shots of the moon sinking over the horizon, of which, I couldn't be happier with.

By 5am first light started to appear and with it the crowds. Pulses of people streamed onto the walkways.

I went around the loop for sunrise. Got some shots along the way, and arguably my best ones of the day.

Finally, the sun began to breach the DC skyline.

At the end I was out of DC by 8am. Great experience, and huge thanks to my Dad for driving me in and finding parking.

Nice, been there a couple times. It’s worth it for the experience. Kenwood is another spot, though I gotta think the homeowners get annoyed sometimes lol. One of my weird hobbies is trying to predict the time based on the moon phase and location in the sky. The moonset of what looks like a 10-11pm moon phase lines up with those predawn pics.

Obviously, for the sake of climate change, I prefer normal seasons…but man this weather feels incredible. I needed this in my life. Now can we get some thunder in this pattern?

I know right. Where i grew up in Detroit has had tons of storms already this year. I could go for a good light show.

Hmmm, some boundaries appear to be draped W-E across Reston. Other boundaries are from the Potomac moving west. Could see something interesting things happen. 

80s and humidity is a recipe for popcorn cells in our area.
