I began my cherry blossom tour at the Jefferson Memorial and spent some time photographing it before moving on to the cherry blossoms around the Tidal Basin. 

Taken with a 16mm focal length from the entrance to the monument.  I use these extreme wide angle lenses to provide a sweeping vista.

Here the Nikon 70-200mm lens at 200mm juxtaposed the statue of Thomas Jefferson with the Ionic column in the background.

One of my favorite devices is to have the sun just peeking into a shot so that it forms a star burst.  Here I wanted to keep everything very light so I exposed for the interior and allowed the sky to wash out.
