I didn't make it into DC again this year to see the cherry blossoms. Despite missing out on the
beauty that takes over the Tidal Basin, I am very glad that I can look right outside my front door
and see my very own Kwanzan Cherry tree in full bloom. This tree never fails to put a smile on my
face when it is in full bloom!
tip: I have never changed the metering setting on my camera. I honestly didn't know it existed, but
in playing around, I changed the setting to spot metering, and I love the depth of field that opened
up in some of my shots. Am I the only one who didn't know about metering?

Oohhh these are gorgeous!!!
These are beautiful - I have shooting with spot metering for a while. I love controling my light just a little more and I can take advantage of really dimly lit shots by focusing on that one bright area of a photo. I just think it's a little truer to life. Enjoy!
Lovely... these photos make me smile. I can't imagine having the tree right outside your door. How nice.
This post is VERY pretty in PINK!
i keep hearing about metering but haven't really delved into it yet. and ps: cherry blossoms are the BEST thing about spring. hands down.
I love spot metering! It makes for a greater concentrated area of light therefore opening up a DOF as you said! Great shots! I would smile too :)
What gorgeous cherry blossoms! I really like your second to the last shot. Just gorgeous.
Gorgeous Rosy Blooms!!
Beautiful. I love blossoms. I seem to be chasing blossoming trees around here these days all the time. I can't help it. They make me happy :-)
Wow, these are gorgeous! Some of my favorite pictures of yours!
