Description
Every spring thousands of visitors descend upon the Tidal Basin in Washington DC to witness the gift of cherry blossoms that surround the basin. Given to Washington DC on March 27, 1912, tby Mayor Yukio Ozaki of Tokyo City , these Japanese cherry trees bring joy and goodwill to the city during their brief bloom. Mayor Ozaki donated the trees to enhance the growing friendship between the United States and Japan and also celebrate the continued close relationship between the two nations. This close up capture of the blossoms against the vibrant blue sky is one small window into their beauty.
