The Epic Cherry Blossom Morning

I got up super early this morning to see the sunrise over the Tidal Basin and the blooming cherry blossoms!  So beautiful and a perfect morning for it!  It was hard to pick just a few favorites, so here is my best attempt!I was definitely not along in this quest for sunrise cherry blossom photos!  It was photographer central!

The cherry blossoms are still about a week away from full peak bloom, but there are a few early bloomers at Hains Point!  So took a nice long run there this morning and then got some fun shots!  Such a beautiful and peaceful gem in DC!
