DC flowers

I went to DC a couple weeks ago to visit my cousin and friend, and while I was down there, I took a walk down to the National Mall with my awesome touristy camera.  I was hoping my trip to DC would coincide with the peak bloom or whatever of the cherry blossoms, but they were not cooperating.  (Or maybe I just didn't walk far enough.)

I'll post a recap of the trip later, but thought I'd share some of the pictures to, from, and at the Mall.  I love taking pictures of flowers, so I was really happy that there were lots of pretty ones that were out in bloom.  They really brightened up the grey day. :)
