Jefferson Memorial kissed with Blossoms [Contest Finalists April 2005]
Uploaded: April 13, 2005 07:10:00
This is my of my favorites. I like the image of the memorial in the background with the blossoms. I took this in the morning and used my digital on a tripod. I had to be careful as the place was full of people and it was hard to capture one without people in it.

i love the jeff mem being a blurry bg...you didn't run into Cathy Gregor amongst the cb's...she shot some of the same things...by the way I'm not a golfer nor is my hubbie, but I'v been to the Master's for the last 5 years and him for 12 so most likely will go back next year if you still want a hat then...just keep in mind in advance of the Master's #1251853Judy S.
