Happy Spring! -From Virginia Bluebell at Riverbend Park

 I've always wanted to see the Bluebell in the spring but have always missed it till this spring.  I finally made it to Riverbend Park where bluebell has made it home for many years.   I saw them there, so many of them along the trail that is off the Potomac River.  They like it there! It almost made me cry.  I've never seen so many blue colored wildflowers in one place!

Happy Spring! Cherry Blossom in Kenwood

End of the March and the beginning of April is the best time to see cherry blossom.  The best place is around the Tidal Basin in downtown DC.  It can be very crowded there.  The Kenwood neighborhood of Bethesda and Chevy Chase is a good alternative.  Kenwood's cherry trees were planted in the 1930s by the Kennedy-Chamberlin Development company.  According to the Kenwood Garden Club, this area features about 1,200 Yoshino cherry trees along the streets.  We went there a little bit late to catch the Blossom peak time, still, the blossoms and the houses in the Kenwood are very pretty and charming.

Trip to Spain and Portugal- Roman Bridge of Cordoba

Built in the first century before Christ, it is the only bridge across the Guadalquivir River.  We had planned to see it at sunset hours.  Because we miss calculated 1 hour time difference, when we arrived Cordoba, it had passed sunset hours.  We learned that at dusk when the sun lingers on the golden red stone and the sun light shines on the arches of the bridge, it makes most magical image of the bridge! Oh well, still it is spectacular at day lights.  Here are some photos taken in the morning after we have visited Masque-Cathedral of Cordoba.
