In Washington DC, the National Cherry Blossom Festival is always a hit. Thousands of blooming trees spring to life in March, creating a beautiful atmosphere around the Tidal Basin. The trees were given to DC by the Japanese in 1912. Now the Cherry Blossoms are one of the largest tourist attractions in DC.

Cades Cove

Cades Cove

This was taken in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It is one of my favorite places to hike and photograph. The views are amazing and the mornings are incredibly beautiful.

Cades Cove is a serene and quiet location in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. There is only one road giving access to the cove, and the journey to this tranquil location is not a short one, even if you're coming from Gatlinburg, the closest town. A long, narrow, and winding road leads you directly to Cades Cove, where an 11 mile loop can be either walked, biked, or driven. The mountains open up and a valley of horses, deer, wild turkey and various birds becomes alive at the first sign of daylight.
