Located about 20 minutes from the Jefferson Memorial, this park offers gorgeous views of the Potomac River with beautiful blossoming cherry trees. So while hunting for a quieter, scenic spot to enjoy cherry blossoms this year, I stumbled upon Hains Point Park. tend to get heavily congested, and rightfully so, with tourists and locals alike crowding into the city in the spring. From people singing songs under the trees to children running around playing hide and seek to tourists taking their perfect selfies with the blossoms, I have observed all kinds of people here. I love photographing in this part of DC for the people watching. The area near the Washington Monument is perfect for picnicking and relaxing under cherry blossom trees, as opposed to the crowded areas near the Tidal Basin. I’ve never tried to get a shot from inside one of the boats - but perhaps next time I will try hopping into a paddle boat for a different perspective from water! I always try to include the paddle boats in my shots to incorporate a human element. It’s also an easy walk from all the other attractions in the National Mall area and I have fond memories of coming to this spot as a new D.C. I often photograph from the paddle boats rental point at Tidal Basin since it offers the front view of Jefferson Memorial. This was the spot that I visited while searching for the cherry blossoms during my very first year in D.C. As I was location scouting for a good place to mount my tripod, the colors changed from blue to orange to pink in no time at all. With the desire to capture a postcard-worthy sunrise this spring, I decided to hike down to the Roosevelt Memorial in the Tidal Basin in the wee hours of the morning. I love the area around Roosevelt memorial as it offers great views of both the Washington Monument and the Jefferson Memorial with blush cherry trees linings the foreground. Memorial and the cherry trees around this lantern offer an added depth to your shots. The Japanese Tea Lantern, which is lit annually for the National Cherry Blossom Festival, is located near the MLK Jr. Those trees were planted around the Potomac Park and National Mall area in Washington D.C. and found that, in 1912, Japan gifted 3,000 cherry blossom trees to the United States to celebrate the friendship between the two nations. I researched how the trees made the long journey from Japan to the U.S. Memorial offers some unique opportunities to photograph cherry blossoms. The neatly lined area around the Tidal Basin, with iconic monuments and memorials in the background makes for some especially dramatic shots. The Tidal Basin has to be my favorite spot to photograph cherry blossoms. this March, the cherry trees didn’t fail to amaze me and the hordes of people who flock the city in spring for this single reason. Even after the snow storm that enveloped D.C. In the past four years, the trees have blossomed to their peak anywhere from mid-March to mid-April, so it’s important to do your research before planning a trip to D.C. As the forecasted bloom date gets closer, I make sure to visit D.C. Every March,I start keeping an eye on the weather forecast and the National Park Service’s peak cherry blossom forecast.
