Washington DC Cherry Blossoms

This has been a hectic winter at the Trailpixie homestead, but we did manage to get out for some pics of the cherry blossom trees one morning before work. We arrived around 5:45 am. There were already dozens of people, mostly pathological photographers like me and my friends. The sun rose around 6:00 am. Good light hit around 6:20-6:30 am. I shot a bunch of nice cherry blossom pictures. It is kind of hard not to take some decent photos with such a great subject matter at hand. I did manage to get one nice little panoramic that was unusual. I shot this with a bright sunny background which should have silhouetted the blossoms, but I also used fill flash, so the image turned out pretty neat. Usually I don't like flash on natural subjects, but this seems to be an exception. I was pretty pleased with this little shot. I hope you are too.
