By the shores of Potomac...

We went on a drive to Washington DC during the last weekend to watch the Cherry Blossoms. The rainy morning worried us a bit, but my late afternoon the skies cleared up. The blossoms were mostly washed out by the rain, but the beautiful sunny weather that followed for the rest of the evening provided a very good photo opportunity for me.

We had been to the neighboring city of Whippany to take a ride in the 'Easter Bunny Express' being conducted by the Whippany Rail Museum during Easter. The ride was more of a kid's activity & Amiya enjoyed it a lot, and I got a couple of good photo opportunities...
