Spring is near

The cherry blossoms are out and so was I. I think the funniest thing about taking pictures around the Jefferson Memorial this time of the year is watching the other photographers jockey for position. That, and watching all the passersby stop or duck under the cameras. Last year I noticed all kinds of camera gear, from medium format, a 4x5, and plenty of good old classic film cameras. This year it was mostly digital, however, I broke out my latest toy, the Lensbaby, in order to get a different look. And for the record, I thought the blossoms were better last year
