This was the best I could do with this cherry blossom sculpture, one of the last I photographed. The first time we passed by there was a big crowd standing in the way of the sculpture, and the second time I could see a DJ a just few feet in front of it. I just decided to take the path of least resistance and get a drive-by shot instead, but this is what it looks like: http://nationalcherryblossomfestival.org/artwork/celebration/ Tim suggested going back for another try, but it was way up north on the Maryland border and just not worth the time and effort to go there again.

Says the artist: “The blooming of the Cherry Blossom trees marks the end of winter and the coming of Spring. It symbolizes rebirth, regeneration and reinvention. My design is festive, it celebrates new beginnings and creative energy with an explosion of colors, hearts and shapes inspired by nature, elements that are constant in my body of work.”

This is the time of year for Washington’s wildly popular Cherry Blossom Festival, but unfortunately it has once again been canceled due to the pandemic. The public has been asked not to enjoy the blossoms at the Tidal Basin but instead to view “Art in Bloom,” 26 cherry blossom sculptures painted by local artists and placed in locations throughout DC and adjacent neighborhoods.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly
unsharp.
