A beautiful evening with the cherry blossoms

Once the House is not in session, I not only get my sanity back, but I get to leave work at 5. Last night I had class at 7, so I had a little bit of free time to spare. Since Lincoln had class at 6, he dropped me off and I shot some pics of the cherry blossoms. The season has almost passed and the blossoms are right at the end of their peak. But it was a beautiful evening, and the clouds made for some perfect pictures.

Great pics! But I can't believe you consider 2 hours that much free time. I'd definitely nap. ;-)

Wow, those are gorgeous!!! I'm so jealous - we don't even have leaves yet and it's snowing...
You totally have a knack with the camera - very nice pictures!

okay girl, I know you took these with a point-and-shoot, and all I have to say is, you could never tell!! and I know that's hard to do! so therefore, I officially state that you kick butt. Nice work! These are beautiful, really. I love the end-of-day look, and I'm jealous of your sunny-but-no-people photos. Those are rare at the cherry blossom festival. Let's be photo friends. Come hang out with me and we can go play with cameras like camera nerds do. :) ps we haven't had you guys over for some time now...got any plans next week?

I'm jealous that spring has arrived there. It's slowing coming to Utah but not fast enough. Those pictures are amazing.
