Visitors and locals turned out in their droves to marvel at Washington's famous cherry blossom trees which reached peak bloom on Monday.
Favorable weather conditions since the weekend in D.C coincided with peak bloom, which means the flowers could be around for an extended period this year.
This year’s April 1 peak bloom is close to the average date of March 31 over the past 30 years. Last year, peak bloom occurred on April 5 but the weather was wet and windy, meaning people couldn't take full of advantage of admiring the iconic cherry blossoms.
