Spring is in swing around the DC area, and it doesn't get much better than this. Wildflowers will most likely really begin to put on a show in the next week or so as temps continue to warm up and sun is expected in the forecast. Cherry trees in the area will be in maximum bloom in the next few days. Trees are still mostly bare at the moment, but the underbrush and grasses are beginning to green. It's a great time of year to really savor the sights...
