East Potomac Park in Fall

We go there once in awhile. In spring it is very busy during cherry blossom season. During the summer it is filled with golfers and dinner boats can be seen drifting up the Anacostia River. But in fall, all the cherry trees and magnificent willows and such take on a very different hue. It is East Potomac Park, and on this day a game of soccer was underway, the wind was blowing, and the planes were landing across the Potomac River side at Reagan Airport. The streets were filled with joggers and bike riders and the sun was brilliant on a crisp autumn day. We meandered about and took our time taking in the views. Every season has a presence here in DC. The nice thing about it is that they are more evenly spaced out than in the Midwest where it is primarily winter with snow and ice. That is one of the primary reasons we moved. And on this day, most folks would agree it's a very good one.
